NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/28/2007 - Tuscaloosa, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Patrick Beverley tallied 19 points and Sonny Weems added 16, as Arkansas stifled the 12th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in the opening half then hung on for a 63-57 victory at Coleman Coliseum.

Gary Ervin and Steven Hill donated eight points apiece for the Razorbacks (14-7, 3-4 SEC), who won their first true road game of the season.

In the process, Arkansas handed Alabama its first home defeat of the campaign. Richard Hendrix scored 28 points, almost half of the Crimson Tide (15-5, 2-4) points. Jermareo Davidson contributed 12 points, but star point guard Ronald Steele was plagued by fouls, scoring just one point without a field goal before fouling out.

The Razorbacks jumped out to a 31-18 halftime lead, and opened a 51-27 edge before the game started to get away.

Alabama cut the deficit to five points with just under one minute left before Hendrix committed an intentional foul against Arkansas' Charles Thomas. The foul stalled any momentum, and the Razorbacks held on.

Game Notes

Hendrix had 11 rebounds in the loss...Alabama has lost four of its last six games...Hill had 16 rebounds in the victory... The Crimson Tide made just 1- of-13 from beyond the arc...Arkansas leads the all-time series 24-20 and has won the last three meetings.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
