Motherwell stays hot courtesy of Higdon

Soccer Betting Lines

02/22/2012 - Motherwell, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Higdon's hat trick helped Motherwell to a 4-3 win over Hibernian at Fir Park Stadium on Wednesday to help the home side close the gap on second-place Rangers.

Isaiah Osbourne tallied the lone goal for either side in the first half when he beat Motherwell goalkeeper Darren Randolph from six yards.

But the match opened up after the break and Motherwell was back on level terms in the 47th minute when Higdon scored from the penalty spot after goalkeeper Graham Stack fouled Henrik Ojamaa inside the area.

Omar Daley set up Motherwell's second goal when he picked out Jamie Murphy inside the box for a goal from six yards, only for Matthew Doherty to answer back a few minutes later and level the match.

Higdon's second goal came after a pass from Murphy in the 70th minute and he completed his hat trick from the penalty spot five minutes later.

Ivan Sproule pulled a goal back five minutes from time but it wasn't enough to prevent Hibs from dropping its fourth game in the last five.

Motherwell moves to within three points of second-place Rangers with its fourth victory in five matches.

Celtic 2, Dunfermline 0

Glasgow, Scotland - Celtic moved 20 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premier League on Wednesday after recording a 2-0 win over Dunfermline at Parkhead.

Charlie Mulgrew scored on a great strike from 30 yards midway through the first half to put the hosts ahead, and the Hoops continued to pile on the pressure before finding a second goal in the 76th minute.

Gary Hooper's low cross was stabbed home at the back post by James Forrest, clinching Celtic's 16th straight win in SPL play and leaving Dunfermline on the bottom of the league having claimed just two points from its last six games.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
