UConn closes in on record; Charles reaches milestone

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/01/2010 - South Bend, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tina Charles posted 18 points and eight rebounds while becoming the Huskies' all-time leading scorer and rebounder, as top-ranked Connecticut finished off its second straight undefeated regular season with a 76-51 drubbing of Notre Dame at the Joyce Center.

The Huskies' (30-0, 16-0 Big East) win streak now sits at 69, one shy of the NCAA Division I women's basketball record, which was also achieved by UConn from 2001-03. They will have a chance to tie the mark in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament on March 7 at the XL Center.

This is the sixth perfect regular season in the program's history and its eighth flawless run through the conference.

The 6-foot-4 Charles moved past Nykesha Sales (2,178) for the point lead and Rebecca Lobo (1,268) for the rebounding crown.

Maya Moore, who as a junior will likely challenge those new plateaus, posted 17 points and nine boards, while Kalana Greene chipped in 12 and nine in another resounding win for the Huskies.

Tiffany Hayes and Caroline Doty ended with 13 and 11 points, respectively, for the victors.

Devereaux Peters and Becca Bruszewski each netted 15 points for the Fighting Irish (25-4, 12-4), who dropped three of their final five games of the regular season.

Leading scorer Skylar Diggins went 2-for-10 from the field and scored eight points for Notre Dame, which lost both bouts to UConn by a combined 146-97 score.

Bruszewski single-handedly kept the Irish in it in the first half, as her three-pointer pulled the hosts within 16-15 at the midway point.

The Huskies scored the next 10 points though, capped by a Doty three-point play for a 26-15 lead.

UConn, which has beaten 11 ranked opponents this season, was up 36-23 at the break, and its lead never dipped below double digits in the second half.

The only other undefeated team in women's hoops is Nebraska (27-0).

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
