Clippers, SuperSonics conclude home-and-home setBasketball Betting Lines03/01/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers and the Seattle SuperSonics play the finale of a home-and-home set tonight at KeyArena. This is the fourth and final meeting of the campaign between the clubs. The Clippers have won three straight after losing their last three in Seattle. On Wednesday, Elton Brand finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as the Clippers made it three wins in a row with a 96-91 victory over the SuperSonics at the Staples Center. Corey Maggette also scored 18 points for LA, which played the finale of a five-game homestand. Veteran Sam Cassell scored 16 points and Tim Thomas netted 13 for the Clippers, who went 3-2 on the stand. Rashard Lewis scored 21 points in the loss for Seattle, which has lost three of it last four games overall. All-Star Ray Allen and Earl Watson both netted 19 points. Chris Wilcox netted 13 points, and Nick Collison added 12 rebounds for the SuperSonics, who are just 6-22 on the road this season and have dropped three in a row as the visitor. With Seattle trailing 91-89, Allen cut through the lane for a layup with 46.1 seconds left. Maggette then got fouled and converted both free throws for a 93-91 Clippers lead with 27.6 seconds remaining. On the ensuing possession, Watson overthrew a pass intended for Collison out- of-bounds, and Chris Kaman next converted two free throws for a two-possession game, 95-91, with 10.9 seconds on the clock. Lewis air-balled a three-point attempt, and Cuttino Mobley's free throw with 1.2 seconds left sealed the win for LA. The Clippers, who return home to host Indiana on Saturday and San Antonio on Monday, are just 8-19 on the road this season, while the SuperSonics are 16-13 at KeyArena. Seattle is scheduled to host rookie Adam Morrison and the Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
