The Boston College Eagles and the Nebraska Cornhuskers meet in college basketball action from the Pinnacle Bank Arena on Wednesday night.
The Boston College Eagles will look to build on their 53-49 win over Rhode Island in their last game. Makai Ashton-Langford leads Boston College in scoring and assists with 12.6 PPG and 2.6 APG while also logging 3.6 RPG and Jaeden Zackery has 11.6 PPG with 3.1 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Boston College up to this point in the year. T.J. Bickerstaff also has a team-high 7.6 RPG to lead the Eagles on the glass up to this point in the season. As a team, Boston College is averaging 64.3 PPG on 42.3% shooting from the field, 28.4% from three and 66.9% from the foul line this season.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will hope to build on a 75-58 win over Florida State last time out. Derrick Walker has 17.5 PPG and 12.5 RPG through two games so far while Sam Griesel and C.J. Wilcher each have 10.9 PPG with Griesel logging 5.1 RPG and a team-high 4.4 APG to lead the Huskers in assists. Juwan Gary and Keisei Tominaga each have 10.1 PPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Nebraska so far this season with Gary logging 6.4 RPG. Emmanuel Bandoumel also has 9.9 PPG and 6.1 RPG on the year for Nebraska. As a team, Nebraska is averaging 68.3 PPG on 44.8% shooting from the field, 29.5% from three and 61.8% from the foul line this season.
Boston College is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a win while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall. Nebraska is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 7-0-1 in their last 8 games overall.
I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I’m looking at the under. Nebraska moves at a snail’s pace up and down the floor, while Boston College has been playing solid defense to make up for a lackluster offense. All in all, this should be a war and I like the under in this game.
