Guard James Anderson led Oklahoma State with 31 points. Anderson ranks first in the Big 12 in scoring and was recently recognized as the conference’s player of the year.

Edmonton has not been favoured since it played the Predators on January 12. Recently, the Oilers were home underdogs against the 13th-place Minnesota Wild and the New Jersey Devils.

In that dismal affair, Miami shot less than 30 percent from the floor, only hit 2-of-23 three-point attempts and was a smidgen better than 60 percent from the charity stripe.

The Bearcats (16-14) shot a conference-low 62.5 percent from the free-throw line and a measly 29.6 percent from 3-point range against Big East competition. Yet, the Bearcats are the clear-cut favourite over Rutgers. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc.

He was 4-2 with a .967 save percentage in his last six starts before the break and in his first two starts back, he’s 0-2 with a .727 save percentage. Kari Lehtonen, Turco’s backup, was just as bad in his first start in over a year. Lee Kostroski SportsDirect Inc.

Of the nine games they play against winning teams, only four are away. Jon Kuiperij SportsDirect Inc. HKY http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2797 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2797 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:03:00 GMT After being dominated by their Central Division rivals for many seasons, the Blackhawks are evening the score this year. Chicago has defeated Detroit in all three meetings in the 2009-10 campaign, shutting out the Wings twice. Ricky Dimon SportsDirect Inc. BKL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2794 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2794 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:48:00 GMT The Magic (43-20, 33-30 ATS) have won four in a row and six of seven to stay atop the Southeast Division, two games ahead of the similarly-hot Atlanta Hawks. A big reason for Orlando’s success is the play of a healthy Jameer Nelson. Ari Baum-Cohen SportsDirect Inc.

Toronto has gone under the total in five of six games started by Jean-Sébastien Giguère. Ottawa has allowed 27 goals in its last seven games. Ryan Colaianni SportsDirect Inc. CBK http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2790 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2790 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:10:00 GMT Maryland is now tied for the ACC lead after a win over Duke and, if it beats Virginia, will assure itself of at least a share of the ACC regular season title. Having a guard like Greivis Vasquez makes this a dangerous team in March. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. HKY http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2788 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2788 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:41:00 GMT Edmonton’s roster shakeup leaves the lines out of sync and chemistry will be hard to come by against the Wild. And according to comments from Whitney following Wednesday’s deal, motivation will be tough to find after leaving a contender like Anaheim for the lowly Oilers. Jon Kuiperij SportsDirect Inc. BKL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2786 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2786 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:18:00 GMT Toronto’s defence, not exactly stellar in the first place, gets even worse when the team leaves the Great White North. The Raptors allow a whopping 109.2 points a game on the road, nearly eight more points than their average allowance at the Air Canada Centre. Ricky Dimon SportsDirect Inc. BKL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2784 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2784 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:59:00 GMT The Heat (30-31, 29-32 ATS) were sitting in the precarious eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, just a half game ahead of Charlotte, as of Wednesday afternoon before their Thursday night matchup with the Lakers. They are already facing the pressure of a playoff push. Adam Thompson SportsDirect Inc.

They were two points away against Kansas (81-79 loss in OT) and four points against Oklahoma State (83-79 loss) from being on a 13-game streak. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc.

Brown comes from San Antonio’s coaching family and loves to win ugly games. But that’s not the way the Cavaliers are playing these days. Sean Murphy SportsDirect Inc. CBK http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2778 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2778 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:31:00 GMT The top two teams in the Big 12 go head-to-head Wednesday night. The last two times these two have hooked up at Allen Fieldhouse it’s been no contest with the Jayhawks winning by 14 and 16 points. Kansas State hasn’t won on this floor since January of 2006.

The 37-year-old Whitney has 48 points in 59 games this season. Florida Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun may also be on the move, potentially going to Chicago.

But the Habs may have been happier to welcome a few injured players back into their lineup, such as Benoit Pouliot, Andrei Kostitsyn and Paul Mara. David Payne SportsDirect Inc. CBK http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2772 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2772 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:29:00 GMT The time to bet college basketball is now. For college basketball handicappers, the most profitable part of March starts this week, with the tip-off of the conference tournaments. It will peak at the middle of next week leading up to Selection Sunday. Nick Parsons SportsDirect Inc.

The quick turnaround was a focal point for coach Bob Huggins’ plans. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc.

Detroit has the bigger adjustment to make. The club surrendered a good portion of its roster, including head coach Mike Babcock, to the international tournament. Ari Baum-Cohen SportsDirect Inc. HKY http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2766 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2766 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 10:25:00 GMT Team Canada has finally found line combinations that are working. The line of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Brendan Morrow was their best line Friday. The Canadians are getting contributions from the entire team – except Sidney Crosby. Ricky Dimon SportsDirect Inc. BKL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2765 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2765 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 09:27:00 GMT A high ankle sprain that kept Kobe Bryant out of action for four games (two before the All-Star break and two after) appears to be a thing of the past. Kobe scored 32 points in his first night back and contributed 19 points in a 99-90 home win over Philadelphia. Ryan Colaianni SportsDirect Inc. CBK http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2762 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2762 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:16:00 GMT Syracuse’s Andy Rautins has always been a threat to hit from the outside, but his shooting from beyond the arc over the last three games has been staggering. Rautins is shooting 57 percent, including an 8-of-12 performance in a win over Providence Tuesday. Jon Kuiperij SportsDirect Inc. HKY http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2761 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/2761 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 08:37:00 GMT Benoit Pouliot, Andrei Kostitsyn and Paul Mara are expected back in the Montreal lineup Tuesday against Boston. The Canadiens remain without top goal scorer Mike Cammalleri and power-play specialist Marc-Andre Bergeron, but hope to get both back soon.
