Hughes, Wisconsin battle back to beat Michigan
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/20/2010 -
Madison, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevon Hughes scored 16 of his 20 points in the
second half, as 18th-ranked Wisconsin rallied from a horrendous start to beat
Michigan, 54-48, in a defensive battle at the Kohl Center.
Rob Wilson totaled 13 points, and Keaton Nankivil 10 for the Badgers (15-4,
5-2 Big Ten), who bounced back from a 60-51 road loss to Ohio State on
Saturday.
DeShawn Sims had 23 points and 13 rebounds before fouling out for Michigan
(10-8, 3-3), which had won its previous two games, including a victory over
Connecticut on Sunday. Manny Harris ended with 11 points on just 4-of-14
shooting for the Wolverines.
Each team struggled shooting the basketball, with the Badgers ending at 34
percent and the Wolverines at 36.2, but Wisconsin managed to win at home over
Michigan for the ninth straight time. The last time the Wolverines won at the
Kohl Center was a 51-39 victory on December 30, 1999.
Harris' jumper widened Michigan's lead to 43-39 with 5:17 left, but Wisconsin
scored the next 10 points to go in front. Hughes gave the hosts the edge with
a jumper and knifed through the lane for a layup for a 47-43 edge with 2:16
remaining. Wilson added two foul shots with 44 seconds to go for a sizeable
six-point bulge.
Harris came back at the other end with a three-point play, but Hughes made two
from the line, and the Badgers held on down the stretch.
The Badgers gave up the game's first six points and trailed 13-2 after Harris
nailed a three-pointer with 11:22 remaining. Wisconsin, though, netted the
final eight points of the half to get within 21-18.
Michigan pushed its lead back to double-digits when Harris drilled another
three for a 33-23 advantage with nearly 14 minutes left.
Wisconsin later used a 7-0 run to get within 39-37 on Wilson's layup with 6
1/2 minutes to go.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
