Bucks topple Cavs; James rests
Basketball Betting Lines
03/07/2010 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Jennings led five Milwaukee players
in double figures with 25 points on 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, as the Bucks
took down the Cleveland Cavaliers, minus LeBron James, 92-85, at the Bradley
Center.
James was given the night off to rest and the Bucks took advantage by winning
for the ninth time in 10 games.
Carlos Delfino added 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Luc Mbah a
Moute tallied 10 points and 11 boards for the Bucks, who have won three in
a row. Andrew Bogut added 15 points and nine boards.
Antawn Jamison led all scorers with 30 along with 11 rebounds, and Delonte
West scored 27 for the Cavaliers, who lost for the first time in seven
outings.
"I think defensively we did pretty well," Jamison said. "We definitely missed
some (opportunities) on the offensive end. The way (James) is able to create
easy opportunities for his teammates, it took us awhile to get things going in
the right direction."
Milwaukee started the final frame up 69-61 and traded baskets with the Cavs
before extending the margin to 15 at 80-65 on a Jennings three-pointer with
7:38 to go. The Cavaliers would cut the deficit to eight multiple times, with
the last coming on a West hook shot with 1:23 remaining, but the Bucks kept
trading baskets before allowing a Danny Green triple to end the game.
"When we had to get stops and a rebound, we did," said Bucks coach Scott
Skiles. "We had a lot of guys chipping in."
The Bucks got off to an 8-2 run to start the night as Mbah a Moute scored
six of the team's first eight points. Milwaukee's first quarter lead extended
to 11 at 25-14, when Ersan Ilyasova drained a bucket with less than a minute
left.
Cleveland came out strong in the second, mounting a 19-6 run that ended with
the Cavaliers maintaining a 33-31 lead with 6:35 left. Jamison and West
combined for all of the 19 points in the stretch. The Bucks took back the lead
at 39-37 after a Delfino three-pointer, but Mo Williams drained a jumper with
five seconds left to give Cleveland a 42-41 halftime lead.
In the third, Milwaukee jumped out to a 13-point advantage at 58-45 on a
Jennings jumper, but finished the quarter leading by eight as Jamison scored
eight points in the final three plus minutes to slightly trim the deficit to
eight.

Pacific-10 Conference odds
Teams that should be in: Stanford
 Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.
Should be in:
Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.
| Southeastern Conference odds |
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State
 It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.
Work left to do:
Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney.
Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson.
Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable.
Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile. |
