Basketball Betting Lines
07/07/2010 -
Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have signed rookie
guard Elliot Williams, who was chosen 22nd overall in this year's NBA Draft.
The 21-year-old Williams compiled averages of 17.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8
assists and 1.32 steals in 34 games as a sophomore at Memphis in 2009-10.
The signing came one day after the Blazers inked forward Luke Babbitt, the
16th overall pick in this year's NBA Draft. Babbitt was selected by Minnesota,
but was then traded on draft night, along with forward Ryan Gomes, to the
Blazers for swingman Martell Webster. Gomes was later waived by the Blazers.

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.
