NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

06/07/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - La Salle and head men's basketball coach John Giannini have agreed to a multi-year contract. Details of the agreement were not released.

Giannini's Explorers teams have gone 83-97 in six seasons, including a 12-18 record this past season.

"We have a very talented group of young men in our program -- a strong returning group and some very highly regarded newcomers," Giannini said. "Our immediate goal is to be selected for a post-season tournament. Quite frankly, I cannot wait for the new season to begin. We plan to make the La Salle family proud."

La Salle has not made the NCAA Tournament since 1992.

Giannini became La Salle's head coach prior to the 2004-05 season after stints at Rowan and Maine. He has a career record of 380-246.

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."
