01/17/2007 - Stillwater, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mario Boggan did a freshman one better in a conference thriller, draining a contested three-pointer with 3.2 seconds left to end 55 minutes of Big 12 basketball in 12th-ranked Oklahoma State's 105-103 victory over No. 21 Texas from Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The final three-plus seconds included a walk and an in-bound formality, capping a game featuring clutch shooting, massive momentum swings and Cowboys head coach Sean Sutton almost fainting at the end of regulation.
If he only knew 15 more minutes were in store.
Kevin Durant, who tied a career-high with 37 points, collected an air ball and scored off the glass while being fouled with 10.5 ticks remaining in the third overtime. He drained the foul shot to push Texas in front, 103-102.
The Cowboys eventually got the ball to Boggan at the top of the left wing with two Longhorns surrounding him. He shook the first defender then double- clutched his shot to avoid the outstretched arms of the second player.
Just 5-of-33 from beyond the arc entering the game, Boggan's three trumped Durant's conventional three-point possession, handing the Longhorns (13-4, 3-1 Big 12) their first conference loss.
Boggan's shot capped a 37-point, 20-rebound performance, continuing his stellar senior season. He entered the contest averaging a team-leading 21 points and 7.1 rebounds per game and shooting just over 60 percent from the floor.
JamesOn Curry totaled 28 points, nine rebounds and four assists, while Terrel Harris scored 16 points and Byron Eaton added 11 points for the Cowboys (16-2, 2-1), who improved to 11-0 on Eddie Sutton court.
D.J. Augustin contributed 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and Justin Mason totaled 18 points for Texas. Damion James collected 10 points and 11 rebounds, while Durant added 12 boards in the loss.
Augustin's three-pointer with 21 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime -- the first of three extra sessions.
The guard made the pivotal shot again in the waning stages of the first overtime, converting a layup to square the contest at 83-83 with 13 seconds on the clock.
David Monds' heave from the right corner didn't draw iron, and an offensive putback occurred about one second after the horn.
The Cowboys seized a 91-88 edge in the second overtime on Boggan's mid-range jumper, but Durant -- who made 4-of-12 threes on the contest -- connected from near the top of the circle to tie the game.
Tyler Hatch -- a walk-on surrounded on the floor by a group of high school All-Americans -- attempted to stamp a feel-good story on the contest by making a reverse layup to put the Cowboys up 93-91 with 43 seconds left.
It was for naught, as Durant answered with a dunk to tie the game again, eventually forcing the third extra session.
Curry started it with a three-pointer then Harris buried two free throws to open a 98-93 advantage.
However, as proven much earlier in the night, no lead was safe.
Durant made 1-of-2 free throws then Mason drilled a contested three from the right wing to draw the Longhorns within one.
After a Boggan jumper, Connor Atchley raced down a loose ball and connected from long distance to make the score 100-100 with 1:55 on the clock.
Curry then made a pair of free throws before the frantic finish.
The Cowboys led 38-36 at the half.

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.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
