Downey sparks South Carolina's road win over Vandy

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Devan Downey drained four three-pointers en route to a game-high 26 points, as South Carolina used a second-half surge to upend 13th-ranked Vanderbilt, 77-73.

Down nine midway through the second half, Brandis Raley-Ross hit a jumper to ignite an 18-2 burst for South Carolina, transforming a 55-46 deficit into a 64-57 advantage.

Vanderbilt guard Jermaine Beal knocked down a trey to tie the game at 69, but Downey quickly answered from behind the arc on the ensuing South Carolina possession. The Gamecocks led by four after Sam Muldrow converted 1-of-2 free throws with 42.2 seconds remaining.

Beal dashed to the hoop for an easy layup, and Steve Tchiengang sent South Carolina's Ramon Galloway to the foul line, where he made both attempts.

Once again, Beal was allowed to make a high-percentage shot, but Stephen Spinella sealed the upset with a thunderous dunk for South Carolina.

Muldrow finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and two blocks for the Gamecocks (15-15, 6-10 SEC), who snapped a six-game losing streak.

Beal scored 21 points and grabbed eight boards to pace the Commodores (23-7, 12-4), whose loss handed the outright SEC title to Kentucky. Vanderbilt needed a win and a loss by Kentucky against Florida on Sunday to earn at least a share of the regular-season crown.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
