NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/24/2010 -
Ames, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kelsey Bolte shook off 5-of-18 shooting from the
floor to come up with a team-high 15 points as she helped lead the Iowa State Cyclones to a 60-56 win over Green Bay in the second round of the NCAA
Tournament's Dayton Regional at Hilton Coliseum.
Also scoring in double figures for the fourth-seeded Cyclones (25-7) were Anna
Prins and Alison Lacey with 13 and 12 points, respectively, the latter adding
a game-high seven assists as well.
The 12th-seeded Phoenix were led by Kayla Tetschlag who tallied a career-high
29 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field, while Julie Wojta accounted for
12 points in the setback.
Green Bay led by as many as 10 points just minutes into the encounter, yet
even after holding Iowa State to a mere 33.3 percent shooting from the field
in the first half the Phoenix led by just five at the break, 34-29.
In the second half it was Green Bay's turn to have trouble from the floor,
converting a total of just eight field goals as the Cyclones bounced back to
capture the four-point victory as Bolte knocked down a three-pointer at the
1:19 mark and then converted a pair of free throws in the final seconds.
Green Bay, which was outscored at the charity stripe 14-10, suffered 18
turnovers and made only 6-of-17 shots from three-point range.
With the victory the Cyclones are now set to face off against the top-seeded
and undefeated UConn Huskies in the Sweet 16 in Dayton on Sunday.

Problem with Bears?
Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.
"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."

Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
