NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/19/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Washington on Monday signed men's head basketball coach Lorenzo Romar to a new 10-year contract that extends through the 2019-20 season.

Romar recently completed his eighth season at his alma mater, guiding the Huskies to a 26-10 record, a Pac-10 Conference Tournament title and a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

"I could not be more excited," said Romar. "I have always said this is where I wanted to be. It is so great to see President Mark Emmert, (athletic director) Scott Woodward and the rest of the administration step up and make it clear they want us to be here."

Romar has a 171-91 record at Washington, where he played point guard from 1978-80. The Huskies have made five NCAA Tournament appearances during his tenure.

"Lorenzo Romar has done a phenomenal job here at the University of Washington, said Woodward. "He clearly loves the University, has a passion for what he does and has the respect of his team, our fans and his peers. I have the utmost respect for Lorenzo and I am confident he will continue to lead our program to new heights."

Romar was chosen as Washington's head coach on April 3, 2002 after spending three seasons at Saint Louis. He also coached for three years at Pepperdine and has a career coaching mark of 264-179.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
