Stanford upsets USC

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/26/2007 - Stanford, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brook Lopez easily had the best game of his young career, recording a triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and a school-record 12 blocks to lead Stanford to a 65-50 upset of 25th-ranked USC.

Lawrence Hill also scored 18 points while grabbing nine boards and blocking four shots for the Cardinal (13-5, 5-3), who have won five of their last six games. Anthony Goods contributed 10 points for Stanford and Mitch Johnson chipped in with eight assists.

Nick Young scored 13 points and Taj Gibson had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Trojans (15-6, 5-3), who saw their brief two-game winning streak come to a crashing halt.

Stanford was all over USC from the start, ripping off 10 straight points to grab an early 12-2 lead on Johnson's jumper. Then, after Gibson's layup brought the Trojans within 24-15 with just under seven minutes left in the first half, a Lopez layup preceded back-to-back threes by Hill and Johnson that gave the Cardinal a 32-15 advantage with 4:21 remaining.

Stanford took a 37-20 lead into the locker room and held USC at arm's length in the second half to pull off the upset. Gabriel Pruitt's layup brought the Trojans within 55-46 with just over two minutes remaining, but Lopez responded with a basket and Johnson followed with two free throws as Stanford pulled away down the stretch.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
