UNLV handles Boise State

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/23/2012 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chace Stanback drained four three-pointers en route to a game-high 19 points and seven rebounds as No. 21 UNLV took care of business on Wednesday with a 75-58 victory over Boise State.

Brice Massamba contributed 14 points, while Justin Hawkins added 13 points for the Runnin' Rebels (23-6, 7-4 MWC), who snapped a two-game skid. Anthony Marshall donated 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

I'm very proud of our team," UNLV head coach Dave Rice said. "One of the things we talked about before the game was that we felt like we lost a little bit ouf our swagger. The way we felt we could get it back was to play the way we needed to play on the defensive end of the floor."

Thomas Bropleh led the Broncos (13-13, 3-8) with nine points and six rebounds, while Anthony Drmic also added nine points. Boise State had its three-game winning streak snapped.

With the game tied at six early, UNLV used an 11-3 burst to push out to a 17-9 lead with just under 13 minutes left in the opening half. Stanback netted nine points during the run.

Jeff Elorriaga drained a three-pointer to pull the Broncos within five, 17-12, but a Hawkins trey followed by a Marshall slam pushed the Rebels' lead to 22-12 with around 11 minutes to go in the opening half.

UNLV led 41-29 at the break.

Bropleh made 1-of-2 from the line five minutes into the second half to pull Boise State within 49-38, but UNLV responded with a 9-2 run to extend its lead to 58-40 with 12 minutes to play.

A slam by Quintrell Thomas with just over eight minutes left gave the Rebels their largest lead of the game, 66-43, and the Broncos never got close the rest of the way.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
