Nebraska vs Boise State Prediction
I’m going to try Boise State in this one. The Broncos have gotten through three games so far, winning all of them. Boise State hasn’t really played anyone of real consequence yet (except maybe Butler), but they’ve had some excellent numbers along the way. In their latest win—a blowout over winless Oakland—the Broncos shot a very nice 57 percent from the field with 81 percent (21-of-26) at the line and just six turnovers. Boise State did give up 48 percent shooting on defense and got out-rebounded 33-29, but at least some of that can be attributed to bench guys in mop-up time. This will be the Broncos’ toughest test so far, and we’ll get to see what they’re really made of.
As for Nebraska, they’ve also got three games—and three wins—in the bag. The Cornhuskers most recently cruised to a 34-point win over Lindenwood, shooting 52 percent from the field with a 41-38 rebounding edge along the way. Nebraska gave up just 35 percent shooting defensively as well. This will similarly be the Cornhuskers’ toughest matchup so far, and it’ll be a very interesting game to watch.
