03/13/2010 - Atlantic City, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The second-seeded and 24th-ranked Xavier Musketeers do battle with the third-seeded Richmond Spiders in the semifinal round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament today at Boardwalk Hall. The winner of this game will meet either Temple or Rhode Island in the finals on Sunday.
Winners of eight games in a row, the Musketeers find themselves in the semifinals of this event for the ninth consecutive year. After sharing the regular-season title at 14-2, Xavier earned a first-round bye and began tourney play with a 78-73 victory over seventh-seed Dayton last night. The Musketeers, who have won this event four times, are 4-6 in the semifinals and have lost their last three appearances in this stage.
On the flip side, Richmond went 13-3 during the regular campaign and also earned a first-round bye. The Spiders began their tourney run last night with a 77-72 besting of 11th-seeded Massachusetts in the quarterfinals. It was the third straight victory for Richmond, which is now one win shy of setting the school record for a single season. This is the Spiders' third appearance in the semifinals in their ninth showing in the A-10 tourney.
As for the all-time series, Xavier holds a 11-3 advantage over Richmond and that includes a 78-76 double-overtime decision in late February that helped the Musketeers earn a share of the A-10 title. That is Richmond's only loss in its last 12 games.
The Spiders drained 11-of-20 long-range buckets and held off UMass for a 77-72 win after opening a commanding 38-21 lead at the intermission. David Gonzalvez led a balanced attack with 15 points and six boards, while Ryan Butler and Kevin Smith each had 14 points. Justin Harper and Kevin Anderson also got into the mix, tallying 13 points apiece. For the season, Anderson tops the club in scoring at 17.7 ppg adn he also has 56 steals to his credit. Gonzalvez is another scoring threat at 14.3 ppg and he too is a tenacious defender, racking up a team-high 59 steals. Harper adds 10.8 ppg and 5.5 rpg for Richmond, which is holding foes to 61.7 ppg and recording 8.5 steals per contest.
The Musketeers shot 50.0 percent form the floor and made 21 free throws over the final 20 minutes, as they rallied from a 15-point defeat to top Dayton 78-73 last night. Xavier finished the game 33-of-41 at the stripe, in addition to dominating the boards, 39-28. Terrell Holloway led the charge with 22 points and three steals, while Jordan Crawford posted 20 points. Jason Love also did his part, registering a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. For the season, Crawford averages a hardy 19.7 ppg to pace Xavier and he also grabs 4.6 rpg and dishes out 2.9 apg. Love adds 12.0 ppg and a team-high 8.7 rpg to the lineup, while Holloway contributes 11.7 ppg and a team-best 4.0 apg. As a team, Xavier is netting a healthy 79.9 ppg and ripping down an impressive 40.0 rpg.

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.
