Interstate rivals meet in St. Louis, as Illinois battles Missouri
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/23/2008 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Scottrade Center in St. Louis is the
sight of the 28th Annual Busch Braggin' Rights game between the Illinois Fighting Illini and the 25th-ranked Missouri Tigers.
Illinois has won four straight games to improve to 10-1, and the only loss
thus far came by just two points against Clemson. The Illini crushed Detroit
on Saturday by an 82-51 final, and they did win their only true road game to
date over Vanderbilt. Illinois competes in the Big Ten Conference, and that
league appears to be up for grabs this season.
As for Missouri, a Big 12 team, it will face much better clubs during the
course of its league season. The Tigers have reason to be optimistic, however,
as they are 9-1 overall and have won seven straight decisions. They were most
recently in action on Saturday when they knocked off Stetson by a 78-44
margin, and their most impressive victory to date came over USC on a neutral
court.
Illinois owns a 26-12 all-time series lead over Missouri, including eight
straight victories over the Tigers.
Illinois has been a tremendous defensive team, as it is limiting opponents to
just 55.8 on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. At the offensive end of the
court, the Illini are posting 71.9 ppg on 48.6 percent shooting, including
39.1 percent from three-point range. Mike Davis leads the Illini with 13.0
ppg, and he is pulling down 8.2 rpg. Demetri McCamey provides 12.4 ppg to go
along with 53 assists, and Trent Meachem checks in with 10.9 ppg. Rounding out
a foursome of double-digit scorers is Mike Tisdale with his 10.4 ppg. In the
31-point romp over Detroit on Saturday, Tisdale and Meachem scored 15 points
apiece, as they combined to shoot 12-of-14 from the floor. Calvin Brock added
12 points off the bench for the Illini, who connected on 64.4 percent of their
field goal attempts, including 11-of-18 from three-point range. Defensively,
the squad forced 18 turnovers and permitted only 39.2 percent shooting from
the floor.
DeMarre Carroll is the leading scorer for Missouri, as he nets 17.6 ppg on
59.3 percent shooting from the floor to go with 7.3 rpg. Leo Lyons adds 16.2
ppg to the mix on 52.8 percent shooting, and he is pulling down 7.2 rpg. The
Tigers are generating 86.3 ppg while holding the opposition to 64.4 ppg on 39
percent shooting from the floor. In the romp over Stetson last time out,
Carroll led a balanced attack with 14 points. Matt Lawrence provided 12
points, and Justin Safford pitched in 10 off the bench. The Tigers connected
on 50.8 percent of their field goal attempts in the tilt and finished with 20
assists against only nine turnovers. A 48-37 rebounding advantage also helped
the cause. Defensively, Missouri limited Stetson to 27.1 percent field goal
efficiency.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
