NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/31/2008 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oscar Bellfield hit the game-winning shot with 17 seconds left as UNLV upended 18th-ranked Louisville, 56-55, at Freedom Hall.
Rene Rougeau led the way with 17 points for the Rebels (12-2), who reeled off their seventh straight win. Tre'Von Willis posted 16 points
Preston Knowles had 11 points for the Cardinals (8-3), who have dropped two of three. Samardo Samuels and Earl Clark each contributed 10 points.
Bellfield banked his shot off the glass and over Samuels' hands for the go- ahead score. Terrence Williams had the last chance for Louisville but his layup clanged off iron as time ran out.
UNLV jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, and stretched the edge to 14-2 on a deuce by Kendall Wallace. The advantage went as high as 20-6 with 8:55 left in the half on a Rougeau jumper before an 11-5 run got the Cardinals within 25-17 on a Clark basket with 4:23 to play.
However, UNLV quickly went back up by 13 before two Jerry Smith foul shots brought Louisville within 32-21 at the break.
A Knowles three got the Cardinals within 38-32 with 14:40 left in the contest and the home team continued to chip away as time wound down. Two Williams free throws put the Cards ahead 48-47 with 4 1/2 minutes to play, but the Rebels rebounded to go up 53-50 on a Rougeau layup with 2:30 left.
Five in a row, capped by two more shots from the line by Williams put Louisville ahead 55-53 with 1:44 on the clock, but Willis hit one from the line and an Andre McGee turnover led to the winning bucket.
