Bluejays go in search of 12th straight win
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
Cedar Rapids, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 13th-ranked Creighton Bluejays take
aim at their 12th straight victory, as they fly into Cedar Rapids for today's
Missouri Valley Conference showdown with the Panthers of Northern Iowa.
Creighton picked up its 11th consecutive win on Wednesday night by blasting
visiting Illinois State in a 102-74 final. It was the second time this season
the Bluejays soared above the 100-point mark, and it improved their overall
record to 21-2, and their league ledger to 11-1. It was also the 12th win in
13 home games for a Creighton club that is clearly the class of the MVC this
season.
Northern Iowa is coming off a win of its own, as the Panthers took care of
visiting Southern Illinois on Tuesday, 58-49. As a result, UNI improved to
15-9 on the season and 5-7 in conference play. The Panthers own a 10-3 home
record, but they've strung together consecutive wins just once since opening
the season an impressive 10-1.
Creighton owns a 29-15 lead in the all-time series with Northern Iowa, and the
Bluejays have won the last three meetings, which includes a 63-60 decision in
Omaha back on January 10.
Doug McDermott poured in 25 points to lead six players in double figures, as
the Bluejays could do no wrong in their recent win over Illinois State. The
other five guys scored between 10 and 12 points apiece, and the team as a
whole made good on 13-of-25 three-point attempts (.520) while shooting 56.4
percent from the floor overall. A 27-13 edge in points from the foul line
helped the cause, as did a 35-23 rebounding advantage. Creighton is one of the
highest scoring teams in the country, averaging 81.8 ppg behind outstanding
shooting percentages of .516 overall and .453 from three-point range.
McDermott (23.6 ppg, 8.3 rpg) is one of the top performers in not only the
MVC, but the country as well, and the team's only other double-digit scorer is
Antoine Young (11.0 ppg, 4.5 apg). Defensively, the 'Jays are giving up 68.0
ppg with foes shooting 42.6 percent from the field. Creighton is +5.8 in
rebounding margin, but -1.3 in turnover differential.
Freshman Deon Mitchell scored a career-high 17 points, and Chip Rank came off
the bench to net 13 more, as Northern Iowa got past Southern Illinois earlier
this week. The Panthers overcame a slow start (.286 FG percentage in the first
half) by shooting 55.0 percent from the floor over the final 20 minutes to
earn the victory. The Salukis were limited to 35.3 percent field goal
efficiency, and a 20-8 deficit in points from the free-throw line also proved
costly. UNI claimed significant advantages in points in the paint (22-12), off
turnovers (16-2) and from its reserves (18-5). Through 24 games, Anthony James
(13.4 ppg) is the only player averaging double figures in scoring for coach
Ben Jacobson's club, but he is hitting just 38.4 percent of his field goal
attempts. Overall, the team is averaging 66.0 ppg in dropping 43.3 percent of
its total shots and 38.2 percent of its long-range bombs, while the opposition
is netting 60.8 ppg on typical shooting outputs of 43.1 percent overall and
35.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Problem with Bears?
Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.
"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."
Bet on NFL
Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
