03/13/2010 - Atlantic City, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top-seeded and 17th-ranked Temple Owls continue their run for a third straight Atlantic 10 Tournament title today, as they clash with the fifth-seeded Rhode Island Rams in the semifinals at Boardwalk Hall. The victor of this game will meet the winner of the Richmond/Xavier matchup in the finals on Sunday.
The Owls are trying to become the first A-10 program to win three consecutive crowns since UMass took home the hardware five straight times from 1992-96. Temple got things started in convincing fashion yesterday, handling eighth- seeded St. Bonaventure, 69-51, in the quarterfinals. It marked the eighth straight win for the Owls, their longest streak since notching 10 wins in a row in 2000-01. Temple is now 50-19 all-time in this event and eyeing up a record ninth championship.
URI, meanwhile, is in search of its second tourney title and first since 1999. The Rams began their postseason charge with an 87-76 besting of 12th-seeded Saint Joseph's in the first round before knocking off fourth-seeded Saint Louis, 63-47, in the quarterfinals yesterday. URI has now won four of its last six outings en route to its first semifinals appearance since the 2006-07 campaign.
As for the all-time series, Temple holds a 53-15 advantage over Rhode Island, and the Owls took both meetings during the 2009-10 regular season.
The Rams dominated the boards, 38-26, including 17-7 on the offense glass, as they pushed their way past Saint Louis yesterday. URI also shot respectable 45.5 percent from the field, including a 5-of-12 showing from long distance. After scoring 15 points in the first round, Lamonte Ulmer led the Rams with 16 points and five boards in yesterday's win. He currently ranks third on the team in scoring at 12.0 ppg, but he is tops among rebounders with 7.3 rpg. Keith Cothran, who had eight points and three caroms yesterday, leads URI on the season with 14.7 ppg and 56 steals, while Delroy James follows with 12.0 ppg.
The Owls, who never trailed, shot an efficient 52.6 percent from the floor and handed out 18 assists in on their way to a 69-51 victory over the Bonnies yesterday. Temple committed just seven turnovers and controlled the boards, 39-28, in the triumph. Juan Fernandez led the charge, as he scored 17 points and dished out seven assists. Lavoy Allen registered his 13th double-double of the campaign with 14 points and 15 rebounds, and Micheal Eric contributed 13 points. Ryan Brooks chipped in with eight points and he is the team's leading scorer on the season at 14.3 ppg. Fernandez is next at 12.4 ppg and he hands out a team-high 3.6 apg, while Allen averages a double-double with 11.8 ppg and a team-best 10.9 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.
