Nebraska vs Nebraska-Omaha 11/10/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Omaha Mavericks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers meet in college basketball action from the Pinnacle Bank Arena on Thursday.

The Omaha Mavericks will try to bounce back from an 89-64 loss to Kansas in their last game. Jaeden Marshall led the way with 13 points on 4 of 9 shooting with a pair of threes while Luke Jungers had 12 points with a pair of threes and 5 rebounds. Marquel Sutton and Frankie Fidler each had 11 points to round out the scoring in double figures for Omaha in the loss, with Sutton adding 5 rebounds of his own.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will try to add to their 79-66 win over Maine in their last matchup. Sam Griesel led the charge with 22 points on 8 of 12 shooting with 9 rebounds and 3 assists while Keisel Tominaga had 19 points on 7 of 12 shooting with 3 threes. Juwan Gary added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the double-double to cap off the scoring in double figures for Nebraska in the winning effort.

Omaha is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Nebraska is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a win while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 home games against a team with a losing road record.

I get the case to be made for Nebraska laying points at home, but the problem for me is that Nebraska didn’t look all that good in the second half of their game against Maine and I just feel like the better option here is to take the points. Nebraska is a mess in all sports right now, Football, basketball, you name it, it’s a mess and I feel the only option is to take Omaha an  the points.
