Vandy downs Georgia in SEC QFs

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Jenkins poured in a career-high 25 points to lead the 20th-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores to a 78-66 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

Jermaine Beal pitched in 16 points for Vanderbilt (24-7), the East Division's second seed, which will do battle with the Mississippi State Bulldogs (W-1) in Saturday's semifinal round. The Commodores also got 10 points from A.J. Ogilvy.

"We've had very competitive games with Georgia both times this season, and tonight was not an exception," Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said. "We're happy to win. We're happy to move on."

Travis Leslie exploded for a career-high 34 points in defeat for Georgia (14-17), the East Division's sixth seed. Trey Thompkins added 13 points for the Bulldogs.

"They were definitely the more aggressive team to start off," Georgia guard Ricky McPhee said. "We just got behind and just weren't able to make that run to come back and take the lead."

Vanderbilt went on a 14-4 run midway through the first half to take a 22-13 advantage.

Georgia fought back and owned its largest lead of the game with 5:35 remaining in the first half, a two-point advantage (25-23). Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Vanderbilt closed the opening stanza with a 12-2 run and led 35-27 at intermission despite shooting only 35.3 percent from the field.

Over the final 20 minutes, the Commodores connected on 55.2 percent of their field goal attempts, including 5-of-8 from three-point range, en route to the double-digit victory.

Vanderbilt earned a 43-32 rebounding advantage in the tilt and limited Georgia to 3-of-16 shooting from three-point range, two obvious factors in the Commodores' success.

Leslie connected on 12-of-23 shots from the floor in the contest, but the rest of the Georgia team combined to shoot a lackluster 12-of-36.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
