Braica takes over men's hoops at St. Francis College

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/27/2010 - Brooklyn Heights, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St. Francis College has announced the hiring of Glenn Braica as men's head basketball coach.

Braica, who has spent the last six seasons as an assistant at St. John's under Norm Roberts, previously spent 15 years as an assistant at St. Francis and from 2000-04 as associate head coach under Ron Ganulin.

"This is a great day for St. Francis College basketball," said director of athletics Irma Garcia. "Glenn was a solid coach for us when he was here the first time. With Glenn calling the offense, the Terriers were in the top four in the conference almost every year. He knew how to win then, and now with six years in the Big East under his belt, he's coming back with incredible experience that will give our program a huge lift toward the upper echelon of the Northeast Conference."

Braica takes over for Brian Nash, who resigned earlier this month citing personal reasons after five years at the helm. The Terriers finished 11-18 last season and did not qualify for the Northeast Conference Tournament.

In the last seven years of Braica's previous tenure at St. Francis, the Terriers posted a 118-83 record, including an 88-42 mark in the NEC and captured two regular season titles.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
