Hurricanes' Thomas granted extra year

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

08/18/2010 - Coral Gables, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miami-Florida forward Adrian Thomas was given an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA after injuries cost him nearly two full seasons.

Thomas suffered back-to-back season-ending injuries four games into the 2006-07 campaign and again four games into 2007-08.

"It's a relief to get this approval from the NCAA," said Thomas. "I'm excited to have another opportunity to play college basketball, and I think we will have a really special group this season that can accomplish great things."

Thomas averaged 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds last season and was the ACC's top three-point shooter, connecting on 42.1 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

"We're very pleased to have Adrian officially back on the team this season," said Hurricanes head coach Frank Haith. "He is very well respected among his teammates and has a great work ethic -- both on the court and in his graduate studies. He will continue to be a key player for us this season."

Miami was 20-13 last season, ending the campaign with a loss to eventual national champion Duke in the ACC Tournament semifinals.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
