Buckeyes host Hawkeyes in Big Ten actionNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 13th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will attempt to complete the regular-season sweep of the Iowa Hawkeyes when the two meet in Columbus today for a Big Ten Conference clash. Iowa is in desperate need of a victory, as it has suffered three consecutive defeats to fall to 8-15 overall and 2-8 in league play. The Hawkeyes were most recently in action on Wednesday when they struggled at the offensive end in a 57-49 loss to Illinois. Iowa has played six true road games so far this season, and the team has lost five of those tilts. Ohio State has been perfect at home this season, as it has won all 14 of the games it has played in Columbus. The Buckeyes are 17-6 overall, including 7-3 in Big Ten action, and they have won their last three outings. On Wednesday, Ohio State defeated Penn State in a 75-62 final. Iowa owns a 75-71 series lead over Ohio State, but the Buckeyes edged the Hawkeyes by a score of 65-57 final on January 27th. The Hawkeyes have been held to fewer than 50 points in back-to-back affairs, and a lack of offensive production has plagued the team all season. Through 23 games, Iowa is scoring a mere 61.2 ppg on 41.4 percent shooting from the floor. Defensively, the club is permitting 64.8 ppg to foes. Matt Gatens is scoring 12.1 ppg on 36.7 percent shooting from the field, so his team-leading output would be better if not for a lack of efficiency. Anthony Tucker is the only double-digit scorer in the fold for the Hawkeyes, as he is netting 11.9 ppg. In the loss to Illinois last time out, Iowa connected on only 29.6 percent of its field goal attempts. Evan Turner is scoring 18.9 ppg on 55.9 percent shooting from the floor this season to pace Ohio State. More than just a scorer, Turner is pulling down 9.5 rpg to go along with 97 assists. William Buford provides 14.2 ppg for the Buckeyes, while both David Lighty and Jon Diebler add 12.9 ppg. The team is generating 74.9 ppg on 50 percent shooting from the floor, while opponents are being limited to 61.0 ppg on 41 percent field goal efficiency. Against Penn State last time out, Ohio State shot 50 percent from the field and earned an 18-12 edge in points from the foul line. Turner posted 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Buckeyes, while Buford added 19 points and five assists.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
