NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Wright scored 27 points and Greg Monroe contributed 17 with 10 rebounds and seven assists, as 22nd-ranked Georgetown pulled off a 91-84 victory over No. 3 Syracuse in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden.

Jason Clark also scored 17 and Austin Freeman chipped in 16 for eighth-seeded Georgetown (22-9), which beat South Florida on Wednesday in the second round and avenged a pair of losses to Syracuse during the regular season. The Orange notched a 73-56 win on January 25 at the Carrier Dome, then held on for a 75-71 triumph on February 18 at the Verizon Center.

This marked the 13th Big East Tournament meeting between the conference's signature programs. Georgetown has now seven of those matchups.

Big East Player of the Year Wes Johnson scored 24 points for top-seeded Syracuse (28-4), which also lost its regular-season finale last Saturday at Louisville. The Orange have never won the Big East Tournament as a top seed and may have jeopardized their hopes for a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
