NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/01/2012 -
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.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
