03/12/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Greg Monroe dominated the paint with 23 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, and 22nd-ranked Georgetown returned to the Big East Tournament final for the third time in four years with an 80-57 victory over Marquette.
Monroe, the talented 6-foot-11 center, even added a three-point basket for the eighth-seeded Hoyas (23-9), who will play either seventh-ranked West Virginia or Notre Dame in Saturday's final. Georgetown pulled away from the Golden Eagles in the final 10 minutes behind a dominant 14-1 run, which turned a five-point lead into a 70-52 rout with 5:32 to play.
Chris Wright and Jason Clark each scored 15 points for Georgetown, which avenged a 62-59 loss to Marquette on January 6 and snapped a three-game losing streak in the series. The teams have now split 10 all-time meetings after the Hoyas ruled the glass on Friday, outrebounding Marquette, 39-19.
Jimmy Butler scored 17 points to pace the fifth-seeded Eagles (22-11), who had beaten Villanova and St. John's en route to Friday's semifinal. Maurice Acker and Lazar Hayward posted 16 and 15 points, respectively, but nobody else on the team had more than four, as Marquette shot a dismal 37.7 percent from the field in the loss.
The Eagles registered just two field goals in the final 10-plus minutes, going 2-of-15 from the field during the stretch.
The Hoyas held three separate double-digit leads before the fourth finally proved to be too much for the Eagles to handle.
Leading by five with just under 11 minutes left, Georgetown poured in eight consecutive points, and a Monroe dunk made it a 64-51 game with seven minutes to go.
Monroe drained only his seventh three of the season on the following possession, and an Austin Freeman three-point play with 5 1/2 minutes remaining extended the margin to 18, effectively sealing the win.
The Hoyas opened the game on a 15-4 spurt, only to have the Eagles come roaring back. A Hayward three got Marquette back to within four at 15-11, and he later tied it with another triple for a 29-29 game with 5:50 remaining.
Georgetown managed to go into halftime holding a 37-34 advantage and began the second half on an 11-3 burst to take a 48-37 lead on a Clark three. The Eagles quickly answered with 10 points, with Hayward's three-point play cutting the deficit to one with 13 1/2 minutes to play.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
