Red-hot Badgers play host to Boilermakers
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/17/2007 -
Madison, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winners of 13 straight games, the second-
ranked Wisconsin Badgers play host to the Purdue Boilermakers this evening
in Big Ten action from the Kohl Center in Madison.
Bo Ryan's squad has been a picture of consistency thus far, as a two-point
loss to Missouri State back on November 24th is the only blemish on
Wisconsin's stellar record (17-1). More recently, the team moved to 3-0 in
Big Ten play with Saturday's 56-50 win at Northwestern.
Purdue should not be overlooked by anyone in the conference, as the team
has a solid 13-5 record thus far. Matt Painter is in his second season at
the helm in West Lafayette and has these Boilermakers believing in
themselves. Purdue evened its conference record at 2-2 with a 67-53 win over
Michigan this past weekend. The victory also gave the team its 11th victory at
home without a defeat.
This is the 160th meeting between these two schools, with Purdue holding a
98-61 advantage all-time. UW has won the last seven meetings in Madison. This
is the only regular season meeting between these two teams this season.
The Boilermakers are not an offensive juggernaut by any stretch of the
imagination, as the team is averaging a modest 73.7 ppg, despite shooting a
respectable .475 from the floor. What the team does have though, is one of the
conference's top performers in senior forward Carl Landry. The 6-7 veteran is
shooting a scorching .631 from the floor this year and leads the Boilermakers
in both scoring (19.6 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg). David Teague provides
perimeter support at 12.5 ppg and is the team's top long-range threat,
delivering on 40 percent of his three-point attempts (42-of-105). It was the
combination of Landry and Teague that led the team to victory over the
Wolverines last time out. Landry finished with a game-high 22 points, hitting
9-of-14 from the floor. Teague was on his game as well, hitting 8-of-10 shots,
including 4-of-5 from behind the arc, to finish with 21 points. The
Boilermakers shot .565 from the floor in the game and forced Michigan into 17
turnovers.
It was a strong defensive effort that led to Wisconsin's win at Northwestern
over the weekend. The Badgers held the Wildcats to just .385 shooting,
including .222 from long range (4-of-18). It was a good thing, because UW was
off its offensive game, shooting just .436 from the field, including .167 from
behind the arc (2-of-12). The team only attempted 39 shots overall, the lowest
total this season. All-American candidate Alando Tucker led the way with 17
points and eight rebounds. Kammron Taylor was the only Badger to join Tucker
in double digits, chipping in 12, despite hitting just 3-of-12 shots from the
floor. It has been a strong defensive effort that has fueled Wisconsin's
success thus far. The team is limiting foes to a meager 57.4 ppg this year,
holing them under 40 percent shooting from the field (.391). Tucker is one of
the Big Ten's stars. He is shooting .493 on the year, and is good for almost
20 points per game (19.8). Taylor (13.2 ppg) is the resident sniper, hitting
over 46 percent from three-point range (32-of-69). Brian Butch is hitting half
of his shots on the year and is closing in on double digits (9.9 ppg), while
leading the way on the glass (6.4 rpg).

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
