The Cornhuskers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 5-1 in Cornhuskers last 6 overall. The under is 9-2 in Hoosiers last 11 overall. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been able to tread water here and there, and they get after it defensively, but they’re still a below average Big Ten team that I don’t trust in these sorts of spots. The Indiana Hoosiers are easily the better team in terms of talent, and they have the offensive firepower to blow the Huskers off the court. I like Indiana to run away with things in the second half.
