NCAA Basketball Betting - Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Texas Longhorns
By Eric Williams
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, (17-10 SU, 7-12 ATS, 10-9 O/U), have won six of their last ten games and three of their last four but lost to the Oklahoma State Cowboys 77-63 on Saturday.
The ninth-ranked Texas Longhorns, (24-5 SU, 14-9 ATS, 10-13 O/U), have won eight of their last ten games but lost a close contest to the Texas Tech Red Raiders on the road, 83-80 on Saturday.
The Cornhuskers are averaging 67.5 points per game on 46.0 percent shooting while allowing 60.4 points per game on 40.1 percent shooting while going 5-5 against the spread in their last ten contests.
The Longhorns are averaging 75.8 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting while allowing 65.2 points per game on 39.7 percent shooting.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my College Basketball Betting Free Picks:
The Cornhuskers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Cornhuskers are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Longhorns are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven Tuesday games.
The Longhorns are 6-0 ATS in their last six games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600.
The Under is 10-4-1 in Cornhuskers last 15 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Under is 8-1 in Longhorns last nine home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
The Cornhuskers are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
The Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
Analysis: While I like the Longhorns to win this game, Nebraska is playing its best basketball of the season and should be able to cover the spread tonight despite being on the road. Take the Cornhuskers to cover and you won’t be disappointed.
