Illinois upends Lucas-less MSUNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Champaign, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Demetri McCamey posted 22 points and 11 assists, as Illinois held on to upend fifth-ranked Michigan State, 78-73, at Assembly Hall. Mike Davis added 16 points for the Illini (16-8, 8-3 Big Ten) and got a piece of a potential game-tying three in the closing moments. D.J. Richardson provided 14 points as Illinois won its fourth consecutive game. Draymond Green had 17 points and 16 boards for the Spartans (19-5, 9-2), who were playing without leading scorer Kalin Lucas because of an ankle injury he suffered in Tuesday's loss at Wisconsin. Chris Allen added 15 points and Durrell Summers had 11 in the loss. In a tie game inside the final two minutes, Illinois took the lead on a layup by Brandon Paul with 1:19 to go, though Paul missed the subsequent free throw. After a turnover by each team, McCamey drained a three with 39 ticks left to boost the Illini lead to 73-68. Michigan State battled back, though. First Green was in the right place at the right time to tip in a ball, and after Richardson sank 1-of-2 at the line, Summers' three with 17 seconds left got the Spartans within 74-73. Richardson was then fouled and sank both attempts for a three-point game, but Summers had the ball with a chance to tie. However, Davis played tight defense and got a fingertip on the ball, which never made it to the rim. Davis then slammed at the other end to seal the win. The Illini jumped out to a 14-4 lead, but the Spartans followed with a run of their own, and Isaiah Dahlman's layup with 11:51 left in the half made it a 16-16 game. Illinois edged back out in front, though Austin Thornton's jumper at the buzzer got MSU within 35-34 at the break. The second half was back-and-forth, as each team held the lead. Raymar Morgan sank two free throws with 1:44 left to make it a 68-68 contest. Game Notes Michigan State leads the all-time series 54-53...Illinois has an 12-1 home mark this season...The Spartans have won five of the last six meetings with the Illini...Michigan State outrebounded Illinois 34-24.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half. Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout. Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper". 22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
