Jackson lifts No. 6 Baylor over Texas A&MNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/01/2012 - College Station, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pierre Jackson's three-pointer with 16.3 seconds left gave Baylor the lead for good, and the sixth-ranked Bears held on for a 63-60 victory over Texas A&M on Wednesday. Perry Jones III scored 15 points to lead Baylor (20-2, 7-2 Big 12) and Jackson had 14. The Bears won their third straight game to extend the best start to a season in program history. David Loubeau led Texas A&M (12-9, 3-6) with 16 points while Ray Turner scored 13 with 11 rebounds. It was the last time the teams will meet in the regular season as Big 12 rivals because Texas A&M is moving to the Southeastern Conference next season. The Aggies took their first lead in more than 17 minutes on Turner's layup with 11:49 remaining, which made it 44-42 and capped a 19-4 run. Several minutes after that, and with Texas A&M holding a 49-44 lead, the teams came together in a minor scuffle at halfcourt after Jackson jumped on a loose ball and called timeout for Baylor. Players left their benches, but no fouls were called because of the timeout. Later, Daniel Alexander knocked down a three-pointer that tied the game for Texas A&M at 58-58 with 2:13 remaining. On the Aggies' next trip down the court, Loubeau worked on Quincy Acy in the lane and scored on a right-handed hook shot to make it 60-58. But Jackson buried a straightaway three-pointer at the other end to make it 61-60 and there was some confusion on Texas A&M's next possession. The Aggies inbounded the ball to Elston Turner in the right corner and he spun around for a hasty three-pointer despite 9.3 seconds showing on the clock. He missed off the back of the rim and Jackson knocked down a pair of free throws at the other end for the final score. Gary Franklin's three-pointer in the final minute gave Baylor a 36-25 lead at the break. It was the largest lead of the first half. Game Notes Both teams shot around 39 percent...Texas A&M holds a 127-78 advantage in the all-time series, which dates back to the 1914-15 season, but Baylor has won five straight meetings including a 61-52 victory on January 2.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.
