Falcons swoop into Salt Lake City

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/16/2007 - Salt Lake City, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The victories are becoming a little tighter, but they still keep coming as the 13th-ranked Air Force Falcons hit the road to take on the Utah Runnin' Utes at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City tonight.

On Saturday, the Falcons needed a late basket to make it by the Wyoming Cowboys, 58-56, on the road. The squad made it happen and has now won 13 straight games since falling to perennial powerhouse Duke by a score of 71-56 in late November. The current overall win streak has the Falcons tied with both New Mexico State and Wisconsin for the longest active streak in the nation, while the team's 25 straight at home are tied for the second longest in the nation behind Gonzaga.

Meanwhile, the Utes continue to go spiraling out of control with their sixth consecutive setback on Saturday in an 86-82 overtime decision versus New Mexico on the road. Utah, which is 0-4 in conference play, has now lost all three overtime games it has played this season.

With respect to the all-time series between these two schools on the hardwood, Utah holds a commanding 42-11 advantage, dating back to a 108-57 thrashing in the first-ever meeting back in 1965. But the most recent meeting went to Air Force by a final of 52-51 a season ago.

Jacob Burtschi scored 18 points, but none were more important than the final two which came at the buzzer in the victory over Wyoming on Saturday. Burtschi finished the afternoon shooting 3-of-5 behind the three-point line and added six rebounds in the narrow win. Dan Nwaelele chipped in 13 points and three assists, while Tim Anderson accounted for 10 points, six boards and three dishes as well. Down by two points at the break, Air Force had a dismal first half shooting just 26.7 percent from the field, but then bounced back in the second frame to make 14-of-23 from the floor. Nwaelele continues to be the top scorer for the program with his 15.1 ppg, shooting a sizzling 51.2 percent from three-point range to rank among the best in the nation. Burtschi adds 13.9 ppg and is good for a team-high 5.8 rpg, in addition to having 48 assists against only 14 turnovers. Discipline has always been key to the program's success and this year is no different with the squad averaging a mere 10 turnovers per contest, while posting about 16 assists per game.

A three-point play by Curtis Eatmon with 41 seconds to play pushed the game into overtime against New Mexico, but in the extra frame the Utes never led and allowed a winnable game to slip away over the weekend. Eatmon finished with 11 points, five assists and five rebounds off the bench for Utah, while Johnnie Bryant and Shaun Green accounted for 19 and 14 points, respectively. Green cleared a team-high seven rebounds and handed out three assists, knocking down 4-of-7 chances beyond the arc before fouling out. Bryant, the leading scorer the last three games, is still second on the unit overall with his 15.8 ppg, trailing Luke Nevill who is accounting for 17.2 ppg and a team-high 8.1 rpg. Bryant, who leads the team in assists with 44, is shooting an impressive 43.7 percent from beyond the arc, but that still doesn't come close to Green (12.5 ppg) who has converted an amazing 56.8 percent out on the perimeter. Considering the Utes have such accuracy behind the three-point line one would think they'd have more than a mere five wins to this point in the season.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
