Two Drexel hoop players in trouble with the law

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Drexel University has placed three male students, including basketball players Jamie Harris and Kevin Phillip, on interim suspension pending the outcome of a police investigation into a robbery on July 21.

The school's Department of Public Safety is fully cooperating with the Philadelphia Police Department's investigation into the incident.

Both players surrendered on Monday and are facing robbery and weapons charges after allegedly burglarizing a student's apartment last week.

A warrant had been put out for the pairs' arrest over the weekend after they allegedly pointed a gun at a female student Wednesday night. Philadelphia police indicated the duo was searching for money but instead left with two cell phones.

Devon Bond, the third Drexel student, was arrested last Thursday and was believed to have hatched the plot thinking there would be money available in the residence. He was eventually tracked down after using a credit card in a pizzeria located on the ground floor of University Crossings, as student housing property, while waiting to go upstairs to the residence.

Bond was eventually buzzed inside the building by the female victim, and her male roommate, and talked with them about their "experiences" at the school and "their education," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Upon leaving, Bond propped the door open with a newspaper and returned shortly thereafter with the two players, who were brandishing handguns. One of the players forced Bond to the ground to make it appear as if he was being targeted in the robbery, as well.

Harris was the team's point guard and leading scorer last season, averaging 14.5 points per game and 3.4 assists per contest as he played in all 32 of the Dragons' games. His lawyer has denied the allegations.

Phillip played in 31 games last season and averaged 2.9 points and 3.1 rebounds.

The players' apartments were searched but the weapons allegedly used in the crime have not been found.

Lt. John Walker, of Southwest Detectives, when asked why the senior-to-be Harris would do something like this, responded by saying "that's the answer we may never know" to the Inquirer.

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.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
