Buckeyes back after runner-up finish in NCAA
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
04/03/2007 -
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -The Ohio State Buckeyes arrived back on campus Tuesday and were greeted by hundreds of fans - and one multimillion-dollar question.
Will Greg Oden return for another season?
Several hundred fans chanted ``One More Year!'' as Oden, a 7-foot freshman, and his teammates piled off a university bus near where midcourt used to be in Value City Arena. The bus that picked the players up at the airport drove directly onto the concrete floor of the arena to drop them off. They were met by loud cheers as they walked out of the bus.
The rousing welcome helped mute Monday night's 84-75 loss to Florida, which won its second national championship in a row.
``Greg and I spoke last night,'' coach Thad Matta said. ``When the time's right, we'll sit down and discuss it. I know this, he has no idea what he's going to do.''
Most observers believe Oden, considered the top big man at the college level this year or in recent years, will elect to jump into the NBA draft. He has to make his intentions known by midnight on April 29.
Oden swears he hasn't even considered the question. Asked after the defeat how close he is to making a decision, Oden batted the question aside like the 105 shots he blocked this season.
``Next question, please,'' he said stiffly.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The information contained in the AP News report may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without the prior written authority of The Associated Press.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
