03/11/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sammy Zeglinski scored a season-high 21 points to lead Virginia to a 68-62 victory over Boston College in the first round of the ACC Tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Virginia (15-15), seeded ninth in the 12-team field, halted a nine-game losing streak and prevailed despite being without leading scorer and second team All- ACC selection Sylven Landesberg, suspended by head coach Tony Bennett prior to the regular-season finale for academic reasons.
Zeglinski helped offset the loss by making 8-of-15 shots, including 5-of-10 from three-point range, with Jeff Jones adding 14 points and Jerome Meyinsse 12 for the Cavaliers, who will face top-seeded Duke in Friday's quarterfinals. Mike Scott posted a double-double in the win, compiling 11 points and a game- best 13 rebounds.
Rakim Sanders led Boston College (15-16) with 22 points, while Reggie Jackson finished with 18 points and nine rebounds in a losing cause.
Virginia trailed 23-17 after Sanders buried a three-pointer near the midway point of the first half, but took control with a 17-2 run over the next 8 1/2 minutes. Zeglinski's fourth triple of the period put the Cavaliers up 32-25 with 2:12 left before intermission, and the lead was extended to nine points on Scott's fastbreak dunk 25 seconds later.
Boston College pulled within 34-27 at the break on a Jackson layup with 1:16 left in the opening period.
The Cavaliers' advantage swelled to as many as 11 points early in the second half, but an 8-0 burst capped by Dallas Elmore's layup with 8:44 to go cut the Eagles' deficit to 49-46. Sanders scored the first six points of the spurt.
Virginia answered by scoring seven of the next nine points, however, with another Zeglinski trey pushing the margin to 56-48 with 5:41 left. The Eagles would get no closer than five points the rest the way.
Zeglinski led all scorers with 16 first-half points on 6-of-9 shooting.

After all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer.
Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.
Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.
So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.
In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.
For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.
The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’.
The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
