Kentucky fends off Gators to wrap up perfect season at home
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/07/2010 -
Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Darius Miller and Eric Bledsoe each scored
14 points, as third-ranked Kentucky held off Florida, 74-66, to complete a
perfect season at Rupp Arena.
Patrick Patterson added 13 points and John Wall ended with 11 points and eight
assists for the Wildcats (29-2, 14-2 SEC), who went 18-0 at home this season.
Kentucky, which had already won the regular season SEC title outright and will
likely be a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, heads into the conference
tourney on a two-game win streak.
Alex Tyus had 12 points to pace the Gators (20-11, 9-7), who have lost three
in a row heading into the SEC Tournament, and might have to make a deep run to
earn an at-large berth to the national tourney. Florida also got 11 points
from both Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy.
Kentucky held a 49-37 lead a little more than three minutes into the second
half, but the Gators got back in the contest with a 9-1 run. Chandler Parsons
ended the stretch with a layup, trimming Florida's deficit to 50-46.
The Gators were within a possession multiple times down the stretch, and with
5:23 to go, Murphy's dunk had them within 62-60. But Florida went through a
back-breaking dry spell, going more than three minutes without scoring.
In that span, Kentucky stretched its lead to 68-60, until a Vernon Macklin
layup got the Gators going again with 1:43 left. Florida had a chance to slash
into Kentucky's lead further after Boynton got a steal on the Wildcats' next
possession, but on the ensuing fastbreak he was called for an offensive foul.
Bledsoe then made two foul shots, and Kentucky sealed the win at the line.
The Wildcats held a small lead throughout the beginning of the first half,
then used a 14-0 run to take control. Bledsoe's layup capped the rally with
5:20 left for a 34-16 lead, though Florida scored the final six points of the
period to get within 41-31 at the break.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
