NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/08/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ashton Gibbs scored a game-high 20 points, and 25th-ranked Pittsburgh crushed non-conference foe Robert Morris, 77-53, at Petersen Events Center.

Jermaine Dixon added 18 points for the Panthers (18-6), who had lost four of six and resume conference play on Friday against rival West Virginia. Brad Wanamaker had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the win for Pitt, which is a perfect 28-0 against Robert Morris in its history.

Karon Abraham led the Colonials (16-9) with 16 points, but Robert Morris' nine-game win streak came to a screeching halt. Russell Johnson added 11 points, while Velton Jones and Mezie Nwigwe had 10 each in the setback.

The Colonials held an early 16-11 lead after a Jones three, but Gibbs quickly tied the game at 21-all on a triple with nine minutes to go, and a long distance shot from Dixon gave Pittsburgh a 30-26 edge moments later.

Robert Morris fought back to tie the game, 32-32, on another Jones three, but Pittsburgh scored seven of the half's final eight points, and a Gilbert Brown layup made it 39-33 at halftime in favor of the Panthers.

The hosts then scored the first eight points of the second half, with Dixon's jumper providing a 14-point lead for Pittsburgh. A Wanamaker layup with just under 13 minutes left increased the margin to 57-37, and the outcome was never in doubt down the stretch.
