Iowa to discuss future of men's hoops program
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/15/2010 -
Iowa City, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Iowa has scheduled a Monday
news conference to discuss the future of the men's basketball program amid
speculation about the job security of head coach Todd Lickliter.
KCRG-TV has reported that Lickliter met with Iowa athletic director Gary Barta
on Monday morning and that neither man would comment after the brief meeting.
Lickliter has compiled a record of 38-58 in three seasons with Iowa, including
a dismal mark of 10-22 in 2009-10. The Hawkeyes were just 4-14 in the Big Ten
and lost to Michigan in the first round of the conference tournament.
The 10 wins this season marked the fewest for the program since a 10-16 mark
in 1974-75.
Lickliter took over at Iowa in April 2007 after six seasons as head coach at
Butler. He led his alma mater to a record of 131-61 with four postseason
appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament in 2003
and 2007.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
