Porter, Ducks down Arizona
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/08/2007 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Freshman Tajuan Porter scored 21 points on 5-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc as No.16 Oregon trounced Arizona, 69-50, in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 Tournament at Staples Center.
Aaron Brooks added 16 points -- all in the first half -- and was 4-of-8 from long range for the fourth-seeded Ducks (24-7), who won their fourth straight game and will now move on to the semifinals on Friday against the survivor of the UCLA/California matchup.
Jordan Hill finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds for the fifth- seeded Wildcats (20-10), who lost for the first time in four games but are still expected to receive a bid to the NCAA tourney. Marcus Williams finished with 13 points but was a miserable 6-of-20 from the floor, while Chase Budinger had 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting.
Brooks was on fire early dropping four of his first five three-point attempts as the Ducks raced out to a 24-16 advantage.
Hill stemmed the momentum for a bit with five consecutive points to make it a one-possession game, 24-21.
But, Oregon responded with a 10-2 run to finish with a 34-23 edge at intermission.
A pair of threes - by Porter and Maarty Leunen -- quickly gave the Ducks a 46-31 lead early in the second half.
Then, after Ivan Radenovic connected on a pair of buckets, Porter fueled a 12-2 burst for the Ducks to make it 58-37 with under 10 minutes to go.
Oregon coasted to the finish line from there.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
