03/12/2009 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jon Brockman had 20 points and eight rebounds as 13th-ranked Washington slipped past Stanford, 85-73, in quarterfinal action of the Pac-10 Tournament.
Isaiah Thomas added 14 points and nine rebounds while Quincy Pondexter donated 11 points and five boards for the Huskies (25-7), who take on Arizona State in the semifinal on Friday.
Anthony Goods had 26 points and Landry Fields added 16 points and 15 rebounds for the Cardinal (18-13), who dropped two of their final three games.
Eight straight points by the Cardinal early in the contest gave the team an 8-3 lead less than three minutes in on a layup from Lawrence Hill.
Over roughly four minutes in the first half, Stanford failed to score, but Washington was only able to put in six points during that time and a free throw from Matthew Bryan-Amaning gave his team a 12-10 lead.
The scoring then came a little more frequently for both teams over the next several minutes, but neither side was able to take a significant lead.
It appeared that Washington was going to take a six-point lead into the locker room, but Kenny Brown put up a desperation shot at the buzzer and drained it to make it a 38-35 game at the break.
Stanford kept it close over the first couple of minutes of the second half and had the score tied, but the Huskies ripped off seven straight for a 50-43 lead a bit over four minutes in.
Washington built its lead to 11 points after Venoy Overton put in a layup for a 59-48 advantage just over seven minutes in.
Five straight points from Goods got Stanford back into the game as his pair of free throws made it a 65-59 game with nine minutes to play.
A jumper from Goods got Stanford to within five points, 73-68, with just under six minutes to play.
However, the Cardinal offense fell silent for the next four minutes and Washington sealed the deal with 12 unanswered points.
Game Notes
Stanford started the season with 10 straight wins...Stanford leads the series, 69-62...Washington shot at a 46.2 percent clip while Stanford hit on just 35.6 percent of its shots...Washington is the top seed in the tournament for the first time.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
