PICK: I’m going to go with Nebraska in this one. The Cornhuskers got off to a slow start in their last outing but eventually found the rhythm in the victory over Tennessee State. Nebraska shot 52.8 percent from the field with 35 rebounds and 18 team assists.
As for South Dakota, they posted a blistering 61.3 percent shooting in a cupcake matchup during their last appearance, but won’t find points so easily here. I like this one to be pretty compelling for most of the game, with Nebraska eventually finding a cover.
