Hawaii reinstates Wiseman

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Honolulu, HI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Hawaii announced on Friday that sophomore forward Trevor Wiseman has been reinstated to the team.

Wiseman was suspended indefinitely by the team on Monday and missed the Rainbow Warriors' 88-79 loss to Nevada on Thursday.

"I am a big believer that you must discipline yourself so others won't have to. As a coach there are times when disciplining a player is necessary even if it may cost you a game or two," Hawaii head coach Gib Arnold said in a statement. "Trevor made some mistakes. He came to me and the team and apologized. I hope he has learned from this and I believe his further actions now give him an opportunity to grow and become a better player and person."

Through 30 games -- eight starts -- for Hawaii this season, Wiseman has averaged 4.2 points and 4.0 rebounds a game.

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.
