Stanford crushed UC Riverside as expectedNCAA Basketball Betting Lines03/21/2010 - Stanford, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nnemkadi Ogwumike posted 19 points and 11 rebounds as the top-seeded Stanford Cardinal crushed the 16th-seeded UC Riverside Highlanders as expected, 79-47, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Ogwumike, the Pac-10 Player of the Year, got some help from Jeanette Pohlen, who pitched in 16 points for Stanford (32-1). The Cardinal, who got 15 points from Kayla Pedersen, will take on eighth-seeded Iowa in the second round. TreShont Nottingham tallied 10 points in defeat for UC Riverside (17-16). Stanford went on a 19-7 run in the first half and led 37-23 at halftime. The Cardinal, who pulled away rather easily in the second half, earned a 44-29 rebounding advantage in the contest despite the fact that All-American center Jayne Appel played only 15 minutes. Appel is dealing with a sore right ankle. Stanford has now won 23 consecutive games since suffering their only loss to the season to a powerhouse UConn team back in December.

Big 12 Conference betting odds Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State Work left to do: Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on. Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough. Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
