Why Nebraska can cover
Nebraska is still in the hunt for an NCAA Tournament berth, and it desperately needs to improve its resume following a loss at Penn State. The Cornhuskers have been outstanding at home this season, winning 10 of their 13 games at Pinnacle Bank Arena. They are led by one of the top scorers in college basketball, as Brice Williams is averaging 19.4 points per game.
Juwan Gary (13.3 ppg) and Connor Essegian (10.8) are both double-digit scorers for Nebraska as well. The Cornhuskers have won the last two meetings between these teams, and they won five of their last six games prior to the Penn State loss. Nebraska has covered the spread in five of its last seven games, while Michigan has only covered once in its last 10 games. See which team to pick here.
Why Michigan can cover
Michigan has no choice but to move past its loss to Michigan State, as the Wolverines are still tied for first place in the Big Ten standings. They won six straight games prior to their loss to the Spartans, including a win over then-No. 7 Purdue. Michigan and Michigan State are going to face each other in the final game of the regular season, which could decide the Big Ten regular-season champion.
The Wolverines are led by two of the best big men in the country, who both came into the program as transfers following last season. FAU transfer Vladislav Goldin is averaging 15.9 points and 6.1 rebounds, while Yale transfer Danny Wolf is adding 12.8 points and 9.9 rebounds. Michigan has covered the spread in seven of its last 10 games against Nebraska. See which team to pick here.
