Artest misses game in Phoenix
Basketball Betting Lines
03/23/2007 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest missed the team's loss to Phoenix on Thursday in order to appear in court and plead not guilty to four misdemeanors stemming from his arrest in early March over a dispute with his wife.
Artest was arraigned on charges of battery, corporal injury to a spouse, false imprisonment and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime. Artest was also ordered by a judge in Placer County Superior Court to remain at least 100 yards away from his wife and children until further notice.
Each misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
On March 5, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Department, a female called 911 at 9:23 a.m. local time, reporting that she had been assaulted by Artest. Deputies responded and found both parties in the home, but separated. Artest cooperated during the interview and was booked without incident. He was later released on $50,000 bail.
The team suspended Artest for two games. He later issued a public apology and was reinstated after the team learned that the legal process was underway.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
