01/29/2012 - Provo, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Waldow had 19 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 21 Saint Mary's to an 80-66 win over BYU.

Clint Steindl had 16 points and Rob Jones added 13 points and nine rebounds for Saint Mary's (21-2, 10-0 WCC), which has won 11 straight.

Noah Hartsock had 15 points as did Matt Carlino for BYU (18-6, 6-3), which had won its previous two coming into the game.

The game stayed tight for the first several minutes, but the Gaels took control of the game with a 10-0 run that was capped on a Wadlow layup for a 32-20 lead with four minutes left in the first half.

Clint Steindl made two free throws at the end of the half to give Saint Mary's a 40-28 lead after 20 minutes.

That deficit proved to be too much for BYU to rally from, as the closest the school made it was nine points in the final minutes of the contest.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
