NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/25/2009 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A.J. Price poured in 36 points and carried second-ranked Connecticut to a 93-82 triumph over eighth-ranked Marquette in a Big East battle with major conference championship implications.

Stanley Robinson came up big with 19 points and 10 rebounds while Hasheem Thabeet grabbed 15 boards, blocked five shots and scored 14 for the Huskies (26-2, 14-2 Big East), who are a perfect 13-0 away from home this season and gave head coach Jim Calhoun his 800th career win, becoming only the seventh Division I head coach to reach the illustrious mark.

UConn suffered only its second loss of the season last week against Pittsburgh, but with its second straight win kept pace atop the Big East standings with Louisville lurking just a half-game back.

Jerel McNeal paced the Golden Eagles with 26 points and five assists, and Wesley Matthews posted 20 points for Marquette (23-5, 12-3), which saw its unblemished mark at the Bradley Center this season come to an end (16-1).

The Golden Eagles kicked off a brutal stretch Wednesday against three straight top-10 foes, with Louisville and Pittsburgh following this outing. Things won't get any easier as senior guard Dominic James exited early in the first half with a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. He is expected to be sidelined indefinitely.

Marquette had won three straight entering this contest, but dropped to fourth in the conference after having a chance for a share of the lead with Louisville.
