01/27/2007 - Pullman, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A top-25 battle in the Pac-10 takes place in the Pacific Northwest this evening, as the seventh-ranked Oregon Ducks take on the 20th-ranked Washington State Cougars from Friel Court in Pullman.
The Ducks are trying to salvage their trip to the state of Washington, after dropping an 89-77 decision at UW on Thursday. The loss halted a five- game win streak for Oregon, which is now 6-2 in Pac-10 play.
The Cougars are also 6-2 in league action thanks to two straight wins, including a 70-55 pasting of Oregon State on Thursday. Both teams sit just a game behind UCLA (7-1) in the league standings.
Oregon holds a solid 152-116 lead in this longstanding series and has won each of the last 11 meetings.
The Ducks played without the Pac-10's leading scorer, as Aaron Brooks sat out the game at Washington for an incident in last year's Pac-10 Tournament. The Ducks suffered a 12-point loss without their leader, despite shooting .547 from the floor and having six players finish in double figures. Bryce Taylor led the way with 19 points. Chamberlain Oguchi followed with 15 points, with Tajuan Porter (11 pts) behind him. Malik Hairston, Maarty Leunen and Ray Schafer all tallied 10 points in the loss. Oregon lost the battle on the boards (33-22) and turned the ball over a costly 18 times. Brooks will be back in the lineup for this game and his 18.4 ppg will surely be welcome. Brooks is not the only one who cam fill up the basket on this roster, as Taylor is shooting .527 from the floor and pouring in 16.2 ppg. Hairston is next with 13.0 ppg, followed by Porter and Leunen at 12.9 and 11.7 ppg, respectively. Leunen is averaging a near double-double with a team-high 9.8 rpg. As a team, Oregon is netting just over 80 points per game (80.1), while allowing just 66.
The Cougars lack the offensive punch to win a shootout with Oregon, but WSU has relied more on gritty defensive play to amass its impressive 17-3 record thus far. Opponents have managed a mere 58.0 ppg this year, while shooting a mediocre .401 from the floor. Offensively, the team is averaging just 68.4 ppg, but a +10.4 scoring margin is certainly a recipe for success. The backcourt combination of Derrick Low and Kyle Weaver is where most of the offense is generated. Low leads the team with 14.3 ppg, followed by Weaver's 11.3 ppg. Daven Harmeling (9.6 ppg) and Ivory Clark (9.5 ppg) are closing in on double digits. In the 15-point win over Oregon State, Robbie Cowgill led the way with a double-double consisting of a career-high 18 points and 11 rebounds. Weaver added 12 points to the cause, while Clark finished with 11. Low was just 3-of-7 from the floor, finishing with eight points.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
