NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/26/2010 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Oregon has made Creighton's Dana Altman its next head basketball coach.

The 51-year-old Altman has compiled a 327-176 record in 16 seasons for the Bluejays. They went 18-16 last season, losing to Missouri State in the semifinal round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.

Before the 2009-10 season, Altman led Creighton to 11 straight seasons of 20 or more wins. They have been to postseason play 13 consecutive years.

Prior to his stay at Creighton, Altman coached at Kansas State for four seasons (1990-94) and at Marshall (1989-90). His career record is 409-243.

The Ducks needed a replacement for Ernie Kent, whose contract was terminated last month. Kent guided the program for 13 years. The Ducks finished 16-16 overall and 7-11 in the Pac-10. Kent was the longest tenured coach in the Pac-10 Conference and is the school's all-time wins leader.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

Be sure to logon to MySportsbook.com to see check out all of the early lines and “March Madness” props.  Also be sure to enter the “$10,000,000 Perfect Bracket Contest”. If someone has the skills to predict every winner, they will be set for life and walk away with $10,000,000.  Even if no one can cash in on the Grand Prize, with a $35,000 guaranteed prize pool and a Mazda RX-8 to the first prize winner, Sportsbook.com’s bracket is a must for all “March Madness” fans.
