03/07/2010 - Easton, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jared Mintz hit the go-ahead jumper with 35 seconds left and finished with 14 points, as Lafayette held on for a 66-63 win over Holy Cross in the Patriot League semifinal.
Jim Mower had a team-high 17 points, while Ryan Willen ended with 15 points for Lafayette (19-12), which will play top-seeded Lehigh for the conference title on Friday.
R.J. Evans led all scorers with 21 points to go along with seven rebounds, while Mike Cavataio went for 14 points and seven boards for Holy Cross (9-22), which defeated Bucknell in the quarterfinals. The Crusaders have dropped five of their last seven overall.
Lafayette held a 39-30 lead after the opening 20 minutes and maintained the advantage until Evans' layup allowed Holy Cross to come back and tie it at 55- all with 7:25 left.
Things would then go back-and-forth for the remaining time on the clock and with Holy Cross ahead by a point, 61-60, with 2:38 to play, Willen made a pair of free throws to put the Leopards back in front with 2:17 to go.
However, Cavataio's tip-in with 56 seconds left put the Crusaders up 63-62, but Mintz would answer with a jumper with 35 ticks remaining to make it a 64-63 game in favor of Lafayette. Mintz's two free throws gave the Leopards a three-point advantage with six seconds to go and Evans' attempted three in the final seconds was off the mark.
Final Score: Lehigh 79, American 57
Bethlehem, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - CJ McCollum poured in 22 points and Dave Buchberger added 16, as Lehigh rolled to a 79-57 victory over American to advance to the Patriot League final.
Zahir Carrington posted 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Marquis Hall chipped in 11 points for the top-seeded Mountain Hawks (21-10), who will face Lafayette for the conference title on Friday.
Stephen Lumpkins led American (11-20) with 15 points and nine rebounds. Steve Luptak scored 14, and Nick Hendra had 11 in the loss.
Lehigh scored the first 11 points of the game and made half of its 30 first- half field goals en route to taking a commanding 39-21 lead.
American improved on its 33.3 percent shooting effort from the first half but never seriously threatened the daunting deficit.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

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.
