Robert Morris battles Quinnipiac for NEC crown
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
Hamden, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top-seeded Quinnipiac Bobcats and the
second-seeded Robert Morris Colonials are set to collide in the championship
game of the 2010 Northeast Conference Tournament, and the winner will receive
an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Robert Morris has won the NEC Tournament title six times, more than any other
active member of the league, and one of the six crowns was earned last season.
In the 2008 championship game, the Colonials knocked off Mount St. Mary's by a
48-46 final. Robert Morris is 22-11 this season, and after defeating seventh-
seeded Central Connecticut State in Thursday's quarterfinal round, the
Colonials knocked off third-seeded Mount St. Mary's in impressive fashion on
Sunday, 80-62.
As for Quinnipiac, it has never won this event. The Bobcats defeated eighth-
seeded Monmouth by nine points on Thursday and squeaked by fourth-seeded Long
Island on Sunday, 83-78. Quinnipiac, which owns a 23-8 overall record, did
reach the NEC Tournament title tilt in 2002, but it fell by seven points to
Central Connecticut State.
Quinnipiac beat Robert Morris by an 87-79 final during the regular season, but
the Colonials still hold a 14-8 advantage in the all-time series.
Robert Morris is not an explosive offensive team, as it is averaging a modest
69.0 ppg on 43.8 percent shooting from the floor. Fortunately, the Colonials
have been able to limit foes to 66.2 ppg on 41 percent field goal efficiency.
Karon Abraham leads the team with 13.3 ppg, and he is a 44.9 percent shooter
from three-point range. The only other double-digit scorer in the fold is Rob
Robinson with his 10.1 ppg on 51.6 percent shooting. In the 18-point romp over
Mount St. Mary's in the semifinal round, Abraham scored 19 points, while
Robinson tallied 14 points. Dallas Green pitched in 11 points for the
Colonials, and Velton Jones contributed 10 points. Robert Morris connected on
53.7 percent of its field goal attempts and turned the ball over only eight
times.
Quinnipiac is posting 74.3 ppg while permitting 66.5 ppg to opponents. The top
offensive performer for the Bobcats is James Feldeine, who is netting 17.1 ppg
to go along with 6.0 rpg, 79 assists and 46 steals. Justin Rutty is a monster
on the boards, as he is ripping down 11.0 rpg in addition to scoring 15.2 ppg
on 53.7 percent shooting from the floor. James Johnson is the third and final
double-digit scorer on the roster with his 12.2 ppg. Rutty scored 22 points
and ripped down 16 boards in the five-point win over Long Island in the
semifinals. Deontay Twyman contributed 16 points off the bench for Quinnipiac,
which received 13 points from Feldeine and 10 points from Jonathan Cruz. A
25-8 advantage in points from the foul line was the most obvious key to
victory.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
NFL Betting
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Wagering
