NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/11/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut remained a unanimous choice as the top women's basketball team in the country, according to the latest Associated Press poll.
The Huskies (15-0) again left no doubt as to their standing in the women's game, running their winning streak to 54 games on Saturday with an 88-47 rout of then-No. 7 North Carolina. They also beat No. 2 Stanford earlier this season.
UConn received all 40 first-place votes and a total of 1,000 points from a nationwide media panel to keep the top spot for a 34th straight poll.
Stanford remained second and was again followed by Notre Dame and Tennessee. Ohio State moved up one spot to fifth, with Georgia, Duke, Texas A&M, Baylor and North Carolina completing this week's top 10. The Tar Heels dropped three places after their loss to UConn, while Baylor dropped four spots after a loss to Oklahoma State.
The second 10 consists of Nebraska, LSU, Oklahoma, Xavier, Oklahoma State, Florida State, Wisconsin-Green Bay, West Virginia, Texas and Michigan State. Oklahoma State moved up eight spots from 23rd.
Georgia Tech, TCU, Virginia, Georgetown and Miami-Florida are the last five teams ranked this week. Georgetown and Miami are new to the poll this week, replacing Vanderbilt and Kansas.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
