Bunbury goal helps Wizards snap losing streak at ColumbusSoccer Betting Lines07/14/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a 1-0 win at the Columbus Crew on Wednesday night in Major League Soccer action. Rookie forward Teal Bunbury scored his first MLS goal to not only end a 340 minute scoreless streak for the Wizards, but propel them to their first road victory of the season at the first-placed Crew. Bunbury's tally came in the 14th minute when he ran onto a through ball from Ryan Smith at the top of the Columbus penalty area and fired a shot through the legs of goalkeeper Will Hesmer. The counter-attacking goal was made possible by Roger Espinoza, who picked off a Frankie Hejduk pass before feeding Smith in the offensive third. K.C. goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with a tough save minutes later after Adam Moffat ripped a shot from about 20 yards, but the Danish 'keeper tipped it over the crossbar. The Wizards Kei Kamara just missed putting his team up two goals just before the half-hour mark when he headed a corner kick on goal, but Eddie Gaven cleared it off the line. Nielsen, who made seven saves in the game to earn his sixth clean sheet of the season, made another tough save in the 70th minute, kicking away a Guillermo Barros Schelotto chance from about 10 yards to keep his team up 1-0. The Wizards had a pair of shots with about 10 minutes to go after a flurry in the Crew area, but Bunbury and Graham Zusi were unable to beat Hesmer. Nielsen made on last top-notch save in the 89th minute when he got in front of an Emmanuel Ekpo shot to help the Wizards knock off the Crew for the first time since September of 2007. Columbus (8-3-4) and Kansas City (4-8-3) have quick turnarounds, with the Crew hosting Red Bull New York and the Wizards traveling to Colorado on Saturday in their next MLS matches.

Teams that should be in: Michigan State, Indiana Should be in: Michigan State [21-8 (8-6), RPI: 20, SOS: 15] The Spartans made it four-for-four on the homestand, a gigantic accomplishment that leaves them in extremely good shape. MSU is only 1-6 on the road and is at Michigan and at Wisconsin to close things out, meaning the date with the Wolverines on Tuesday looms very, very large. Beating Texas early will hold up well, as will the rout of Bradley and the win over BYU, but will 8-8 be enough? It very well could be, as the computer numbers are good, but why chance it? Indiana [18-9 (8-6), RPI: 24, SOS: 32] Hmm ... good thing the last two are at Northwestern and home to Penn State, because IU might want to get both to feel completely safe after dropping its third in the last four, fading after halftime at Michigan State. Who knew the best nonconference win would be over Southern Illinois, which is a gift that keeps on giving for the Hoosiers. The win over Wisconsin also looks good on the mantel. Work left to do: Illinois [21-9 (9-6), RPI: 31, SOS: 25] A good performance at Penn State leaves the Illini in pretty good shape. Can they go to Iowa and take care of business to really look on their way? That's a huge game, as there is a possible cluster of teams that will end at 9-7. Illinois beat Bradley, but has lost to Xavier. A 9-7 mark and a semifinals trip in Chicago could be enough with the computer profile hanging in there, but it would be better not to mess around, clinching at least a tie for third. Purdue [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 47, SOS: 28] Couldn't get it done at Iowa, but did win at Northwestern to put 9-7 squarely in sight. Where does that leave the Boilermakers, though? Even if they beat Minnesota and Northwestern at home, that won't help the computer numbers. Nonconference wins over Virginia, DePaul and Oklahoma are solid, but not spectacular. The Boilers very well might need an upset in the B10 quarters to have a legit claim. Michigan [19-10 (7-7), RPI: 55, SOS: 53] Well, Michigan did what it needed to do, winning at Minnesota to take control of its fate. The Wolverines have Michigan State and an already-wrapped-up-the-league Ohio State at home to close, so the chances are there. Win both and we can talk. There is no marquee win yet in the profile, and the Wolverines were splattered in several games against name opponents. A mediocre computer profile fueled by a lack of road wins isn't helping, either. Iowa [16-12 (8-6), RPI: 80, SOS: 64] For the sake of being complete, we'll add Iowa, this season's Stanford. It's plausible that the Hawkeyes could get to 10-6 (at Penn State, vs. Illinois left), but where does that leave them after a gruesome nonconference performance where the best win was over ... Toledo? Iowa State? Cornell?? If they get to 10-6, we can start to look at what they need to do in the B10 tourney, although my gut sense is that they would need to make the final and have knocked off Ohio State or Wisconsin on the way to have any real claim.
