Creighton vs Nebraska Key Stats
The Cornhuskers will be battle-tested and ready for any team's best effort after this challenging series of games. They will play against No. 5 Purdue, No. 10 Indiana, No. 7 the Bluejays, and No. 6 Kansas State over the course of the next four games. It won't get any harder than that, but the Cornhuskers will have squeezed some positive energy if they can at least split those four games.
Nebraska defeated the Eagles in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge by shooting 32 out of 52 (61.5%) from the field, including 19 of 28 (68%) in the second half. They made some effective long-range shots as well, making 12 of their 23 tries, including 9 of 13 in the second half.
To say the least, the Bluejays have struggled with their non-conference schedule. They have played four ranked opponents in succession, including the #2 Longhorns, No. 9 Arkansas, No. 14 Arizona, and No. 21 Texas Tech. The Bluejays team put up a strong showing despite dropping their last two games, cementing their place among the top collegiate basketball squads.
The Longhorns' defense sucked up the Bluejays shooters in the Big East-Big 12 challenge loss, putting them into difficult shots until the Bluejays started hitting threes frequently late in the game. Though Texas made clutch shots down the stretch to secure a 72-67 victory at home, it wasn't enough to change the course of events.
Creighton vs Nebraska Betting Prediction
The Bluejays have played well in difficult games this season, ranking in the top ten in offensive efficiency and 33rd on defense.
Despite the fact that Florida State and Boston College are two ACC teams that are below average, the Cornhuskers appear to be the better team.
It's only 3-5 ATS so far this year as well. In the event of a comeback victory, I'll wager that the home team covers the spread.
Pick: Bluejays -14.5 (-118)
