02/28/2009 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 24th-ranked Butler Bulldogs will try to wrap up the outright Horizon League title today, as they host the Cleveland State Vikings at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
With a 78-57 trouncing of Youngstown State on Thursday, the Bulldogs clinched a share of their third consecutive HL regular-season championship at 14-3 within the conference. Butler however, is just one game ahead of UW-Green Bay and because the Phoenix own the tie-breaker, the Bulldogs would need a win or UW-Green Bay loss today in order to lock up the top-seed in the upcoming league tournament. The top seed gets to host the later rounds of the HL Tournament and that would be big news for the Bulldogs, who are a healthy 13-1 at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
As for CSU, it too has a lot on the line and needs a win in order to secure the No.3 seed in the postseason tourney. CSU, the preseason favorite in the HL, is the hottest team in the conference having won eight straight league bouts, including a 71-64 triumph at Valparaiso on Thursday. The win pushed the Vikings to 21-9 overall and 12-5 in conference play, leaving them just one game ahead of Wright State for the third spot.
Today's game marks the 31st all-time meeting between CSU and Butler, with the Bulldogs holding a commanding 24-6 advantage in the series, including a dramatic 50-48 victory in an earlier meeting this season.
The Vikings shot a scorching 61.0 percent from the floor and converted an efficient 20-of-25 free-throw attempts, as they downed Valpo on Thursday. The team also forced Valpo into 15 turnovers, generating 19 points off those mishaps. J'Nathan Bullock headed the charge with a 25-point, six-rebound performance, while George Tandy tallied 15 points and six boards off the bench. On the season, Bullock tops the roster in each scoring (15.7 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg) and he also has 34 steals to his name. Norris Cole chips in with 12.3 ppg, and Cedric Jackson has been in charge of running the offense, dishing out a team-best 5.5 apg. Jackson also has an impressive 89 steals to his credit, helping CSU limit foes to just 59.2 ppg.
The Bulldogs held YSU to a dismal 35.8 percent shooting from the floor, including just 3-of-14 from downtown, as they coasted to victory on Thursday. Butler hit on 54.9 percent of its chances from the field and dominated the boards, 40-25. Leading the way was Matt Howard, who registered a double-double with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Gordon Hayward logged 14 points and four assists, and Willie Veasley had 12 points and eight boards in the winning effort. On the campaign, Howard is both the team's leading scorer (14.4 ppg) and rebounder (7.1 rpg) and he has also blocked 44 shots. Hayward has provided a nice complement to him with 13.9 ppg and 6.4 rpg and he also has a team-best 44 steals on the season. Shelvin Mack adds 11.8 ppg and 3.6 apg for Butler, which is holding opponents to a mere 57.5 ppg.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
