NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/24/2008 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Bohannon scored 16 points to lead the 11th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers past the Ohio State Buckeyes, 58-53, at Value City Arena.
Michael Flowers chipped in 14 points for the Badgers (23-4, 13-2 Big Ten), who have won four in a row. Marcus Landry had 10 points and nine rebounds.
Jamar Butler totaled 14 points for Ohio State (17-10, 8-6), which has lost two in a row and three of four overall. Kosta Koufos tallied 10 points to match his 10 boards.
With the Buckeyes trailing by three, the team called a timeout with 31.5 ticks left. On the inbounds pass, Ohio State worked the ball around and found Butler open for a three. His shot missed and bounced out of bounds with 16.6 seconds left in play.
The Badgers immediately worked the ball upcourt and hit Landry just past half court, who then dribbled in for a wide open dunk that all but sealed the deal, 58-53, with 12.7 showing on the clock.
The Badgers hit 22 of their 51 field goal attempts, en route to opening a 1/2 game lead in the Big Ten standings.
The Badgers held a 10-9 lead until the Buckeyes scored eight unanswered points to build a seven-point cushion just past the 8 1/2 minute mark. David Lighty scored the first two via a layup, as Matt Terwilliger and Dallas Lauderdale each gave three points on the run.
Wisconsin battled back and cut the deficit to 21-19 on a pair of free throws from Trevon Hughes with 4:24 left before intermission.
The schools would exchange baskets and head to their respective locker rooms knotted at 32.
The second half lead see-sawed and a long three-pointer from Bohannon followed by a bucket from Tim Jarmusz put the Badgers on top 46-43 with just over 11 minutes on the clock. However, Butler would answer with a trey that tied the game at 46.
Moments later, Wisconsin would open a 56-49 lead on eight straight points. Flowers fueled the run with a layup and Landry closed it out with a pair from the charity stripe just prior to the four-minute mark. Bohannon also drained a three-pointer and Brian Butch hit a jumper on the spurt.
An Evan Turner basket and two from the line from Butler pulled Ohio State within 56-53 with around three-minutes left.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
