Nebraska Aims to Keep Momentum After Illini Upset
Nebraska (11-10-0 ATS, 9-12-0 O/U) lost top-scorer Keisei Tominaga (15.1 PPG)—now with the Indiana Mad Ants in the G League—Josiah Allick (7.3 PPG, 5.4 RPG), and another 5 guys in the Transfer Portal including CJ Wilcher (7.7 ppg, Xavier) and Jamarques Lawrence (6.9 PPG, Rhode Island) so making the NCAA Tournament again this year was pretty much doomed before it started, especially with UCLA, USC, Washington, and this Oregon team leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten. This season the Cornhuskers are led by 6 main scorers, G Brice Williams (18.6 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 2.6 APG), F Juwan Gary (12.2 PPG, 4.9 RPG), Wisconsin Transfer G Connor Essegian (11.5 PPG, 2.7 RPG), G Rollie Worster (8.0 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 2.8 APG), North Dakota State Transfer F Andrew Morgan (8.0 PPG, 4.6 RPG) and UCLA Transfer F Berke Buyuktuncei (7.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG). Nebraska averages 75.6 PPG (Tied-#165) while allowing 71.1 PPG and averages 36.4 RPG (#162) and 13.9 APG (Tied-#201).

Oregon Finally Getting Used to the Big Ten Fun?
Oregon (9-12-0 ATS, 11-10-0 O/U) is a projected No. 4 seed by ESPN Hoops guru Joe Lunardi (Bracketology) and the Ducks 11-0 SU Non-Conference Record has helped them to this sexy 16-5 Record. Oregon is led C Nate Bittle (12.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG), G Jackson Shelstad (12.1 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.7 APG), G TJ Bamba (10.4 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 2.6 APG), G Keeshawn Barthelemy (9.7 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 2.7 APG), F Brandon Angel (9.6 PPG, 3.8 RPG), G Jadrian Tracey (7.9 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.2 APG), F Supreme Cook (6.1 PPG, 2.7 RPG), and F Kwame Evans Jr. (6.0 PPG, 3.8 RPG).

Nebraska vs Oregon Prediction
In the last 4 series meetings—pretty much ancient history with Nebraska still in the Big 12 Conference and Oregon still in the Pac-12 in the first meeting in 2006—the Ducks are 3-1 SU and 3-1-0 ATS with the total split at 2-2-0. But we can throw all of that out of the window if we weren’t living in a Yellow Submarine and opening a window was so darn problematic. So this Nebraska vs Oregon NCAAB pick will have to see if the Ducks (-275 Moneyline) have blown out any Big Ten opponents and the answer is no. Against UCLA in its first Big Ten game ever, the Ducks lost by 2 in Eugene (73-71); vs No. 22 Illinois, oregon was throttled 109-77; against Maryland, the Ducks won, but only by 4 (84-79); vs No. 17 Purdue, Oregon lost by 7 (65-58); and against rivals Washington, Oregon won by 11 (82-71). So? So the Ducks will probably be just thankful not to lose at Home and should win over Nebraska (+220 Moneyline) by anywhere from 2 to 7 points.
