Flynn leads No. 16 Syracuse past Cornell
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/03/2008 -
Syracuse, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jonny Flynn scored 24 points and added six
assists, as 16th-ranked Syracuse overcame a double-digit deficit early to
notch an 88-78 win over Cornell.
Paul Harris added 21 points and nine rebounds for the Orange (8-0), who shot
56 percent from the floor. Eric Devendorf contributed 15 points, while Arinze
Onuaku had 12.
Ryan Wittman had a game-high 33 points, making 9-of-19 three-point attempts,
for Cornell (4-4), which has lost two in a row. Geoff Reeves added 15 points,
while Jeff Foote finished with 10 points, seven boards and six assists for the
Big Red.
Despite getting in a big hole early, the Orange scored six straight points
early on in the second half to take their first lead, at 44-42.
The game remained a back-and-forth affair, and with a little under 11 minutes
on the clock, Chris Wroblewski deposited a jumper to tie the game at 57-57.
Syracuse, though, took control by scoring 12 consecutive points as Cornell
went without a point for almost three minutes. Harris began the run with a
three-point play and ended it with a layup for a 69-57 advantage with 8:22 to
go.
Cornell cut its deficit to five points several times down the stretch, but
couldn't recover despite the early leads. With 4:24 left, Flynn's bucket made
it 77-69, and the Orange held on for the win from there.
Cornell opened the game with a three-pointer, and didn't relinquish the lead
the entire first half. About five minutes into the game, the Big Red went on
a 12-0 run, during which Wittman scored eight points. He had the final five, a
jumper and three-pointer, to put Cornell up 25-9 with just under 12 minutes
left.
The Big Red continued to lead by double digits until Syracuse got back in the
game on the strength of a 10-0 stretch. Harris had six points, and a Kris
Joseph free throw capped the run to cut Cornell's lead to 33-29 with 5:28 on
the clock.
Cornell went back up by double digits on a Foote basket with under three
minutes left, but from that point Syracuse ended the half with five
consecutive points to go into the locker room down 40-35.
Game Notes
Wittman made more three-pointers than the entire Syracuse team (5-
for-17)...The Orange made 27-of-38 free throws, compared to a 5-of-7
performance by the Big Red.

MySportsbook.com: New College Football Clock Rules Examined
Coaches and bettors alike are desperate to make sense of the new time-keeping rules on the NCAA gridiron. One of the big stories to come out of the Ohio State-Texas clash last weekend was Texas coach Mack Brown's criticism of the NCAA's new clock rules that are intended to shorten the duration of college football games, therefore affecting college football betting.
"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown told ESPN.com. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."
Sure, it might be sour grapes; the Buckeyes thoroughly trounced the defending national champion Longhorns 24-7. However, Brown isn't alone in giving the changes their due thought. Bettors are also wondering about them, albeit for a completely different reason. Most experts agree that the changes will result in games being shortened by anywhere from 10 to 20 plays. The obvious consequence is lower scores, with more time rolling off the clock during changes of possession. (The Ohio State-Texas game flew well under the total of 52.)
According to research at the online sportsbook MySportsbook.com, more than 18 plays a game disappeared last weekend into thin air. That's a 10-percent reduction. In 2005, a typical game had 168.58 plays. For 2007 already, it's down to 150.26.
As a result, teams combined to gain an average of about 100 fewer yards a game last weekend versus the 2005 openers. Scoring was also down by about 4.5 points (attention Las Vegas sports lines).
Of course, oddsmakers were able to adjust to the changes before the season started. Proof of that came as the over went a balanced 8-9 at My Sportsbook on Saturday.
Other angles to consider:A shorter game should theoretically result in shorter lines. Whereas Team A might have been a 14-point favorite in a 168-play game (last year), if there are 10 percent less snaps in 2007, the line should also be reduced by 10 percent (to 13 or 12.5). Of course, this is an over-simplification of the matter, but something to keep in mind.
Less possessions means a better chance the game will be decided by three or seven points. For example, what might have been a 20-10 final score in 2005 may end at
17-10 in 2007. Granted, a 24-17 game last year might end at 21-17 these days, but the former - a three- or seven-point advantage being preserved as opposed to created - is the most likely scenario.
*UPDATE* - Sept. 25, 2007
New Clock Rules Boon for online bookmakers
By adjusting the time-keeping rules to shorten the duration of college football games, the NCAA hoped to make its product more enjoyable for the fans. While the NCAA's success in this regard is still up for debate, bookmakers couldn't be happier with the results.
"We are seeing a massive jump in college football betting," noted the MySportsbook.com management team. "With all the early Saturday games (12 a.m. ET) ending before the second wave begins (3:30 p.m. ET) - something that didn't always happen before the changes - bettors are now able to re-invest their winnings from the morning session in the afternoon games."
While not all bettors will choose to roll over their winnings, it doesn't take much for an impact to be seen on the bottom line. "Not all of the millions of dollars in morning payouts get re-bet. In fact, it's probably only 10 to 20 percent," noted the sportsbook management team. "Still, the increased football betting lines window will create a ton of growth for us over the course of the season."
