Nebraska Cornhuskers Betting Preview

The Nebraska Cornhuskers (18-14, 17-15 ATS) disappointingly ended the regular season with five consecutive defeats and missed out on the conference tournament after finishing in 16th place in the Big Ten standings. Nebraska will try to make amends at the CBC tournament, where the Cornhuskers opened with an 86-78 victory over Arizona State.

Nebraska is averaging 75.7 PPG (134th) and is allowing 73.0 PPG (209th). The Cornhuskers are getting 35.1 RPG (216th) and dishing out 13.8 APG (182nd).

Georgetown Hoyas Betting Preview

The Georgetown Hoyas (18-15, 18-15 ATS) didn’t play well late in the regular season as they suffered four losses in five games. Georgetown still secured the No. 7 seed for the Big East tournament but failed to get past the opening round as DePaul was better, 71-67. Here at the CBC, the Hoyas edged out Washington State 85-82 in the first round.

Georgetown averages 72.1 PPG (246th) and allows 69.2 PPG (87th). The Hoyas are 203rd in rebounds (35.4) and 140th in assists (14.3). Micah Peavy leads the team with 17.2 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 3.6 APG, and 2.3 SPG. Thomas Sorber follows him with 14.5 PPG, a team-high 8.5 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.5 SPG, and a team-high 2.0 BPG, while Jayden Epps chips in 12.8 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 2.3 APG, and 1.4 SPG.

Why Georgetown will cover

• Nebraska has lost four of its last five games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Georgetown has won each of its last three games against non-conference opponents.

Georgetown vs Nebraska Prediction

These teams have never met before. I know that Nebraska comes from one of the strongest conferences in basketball, but Georgetown definitely has a chance here. The Hoyas have a stronger defense, and even though they will play without their second-best scorer Sorber, I am sure they will put up a fight and stay close here. Georgetown has covered the Spread in 16 of its last 28 games, while the Hoyas have hit the Team Total Over in 9 of their previous 12 games, which gives me optimism they will score enough to cover. I am backing Georgetown to cover.
