02/02/2010 - Lincoln, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 10th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats head out to the road for two straight games, starting tonight in Lincoln, when they take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Big 12 action at the Devaney Center.
The Wildcats are coming off a near miss of another major victory on Saturday, falling 81-79 in overtime to now top-ranked Kansas. KSU had been a perfect 4-0 versus Top 25 teams, including an upset of No.1 Texas, prior to suffering its second loss in three games on Saturday. The Wildcats are still a healthy 17-4 overall, as they now begin a six-game stretch against teams located in the bottom half of the Big 12.
Speaking of the cellar, that is exactly where the Huskers reside with a 1-5 record in Big 12 action. Nebraska however, is coming off its first Big 12 win, a 63-46 thumping of Oklahoma on Saturday. The triumph ended a five-game slide and improved the Huskers to 13-8 overall and 11-2 at home.
As for the all-time series, KSU leads Nebraska 123-93 after the teams split a pair of meetings a season ago.
In a game that featured 20 lead changes and 14 ties, it was KSU that fell short against Kansas, 81-79, on Saturday. Jacob Pullen paced the Wildcats in defeat with 22 points and five assists, while Denis Clemente had 13 points. For the season, Pullen tops the roster in scoring at 19.3 ppg and he also dishes out 3.5 apg and shoots 41.8 percent from beyond the arc. Clemente has provided a nice complement to Pullen and he checks in with 14.6 ppg and a team-best 4.0 apg. Jamar Samuels adds 11.1 ppg and 4.9 rpg off the bench, and Curtis Kelly tacks on 11.1 ppg and a team-high 6.3 rpg for the Wildcats.
The Huskers notched their first Big 12 win behind stingy defense, as they forced 15 turnovers and held Oklahoma to a lackluster 34.9 percent shooting effort from the floor in a 63-46 decision on Saturday. Offensively, Brandon Richardson led the way with 16 points, while Ryan Anderson had 11. Anderson, the team's leading rebounder (5.0 rpg), is the lone player on the roster currently averaging in double figures, with 10.7 ppg. Richardson chips in with 8.9 ppg for the Huskers, who are limiting foes to 60.2 ppg for the season.

Elite 8 NCAA Tournament Betting at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com
In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.
Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.
Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.
Memphis vs. Ohio State
Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.
UCLA vs. Kansas
In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.
