Wolverines and Cornhuskers Clash in Big Ten Showdown

Wolverines

Michigan @ Nebraska

February 24 | 8:00pm ET | Pinnacle Bank Arena

Cornhuskers
Michigan’s defense and experience could be the difference in Lincoln.
Grade A-: Michigan Moneyline

The Michigan Wolverines enter this matchup looking to bounce back from a tough home loss to Michigan State, and their veteran leadership will be crucial in this Big Ten road test. Michigan's offense, led by guard Nimari Burnett, who is shooting 42.6% from three, will have to overcome Nebraska’s defensive pressure. The Cornhuskers, led by Brice Williams’ 15.2 points per game, have been strong at home but have struggled against high-efficiency offenses, allowing opponents to shoot 45.8% from the field. Michigan’s ability to control the pace and limit turnovers gives them an edge in a close contest. With the Wolverines favored at -120, their defensive consistency and superior three-point shooting make them the stronger play. Both teams report no significant injuries ahead of the matchup. Prediction Grade: A-

Michigan's perimeter shooting could be the key in Lincoln
Grade B-: Michigan -1.5

The Michigan Wolverines, looking to bounce back from a recent home loss to Michigan State, travel to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Senior guard Nimari Burnett has been a consistent threat from beyond the arc, shooting 42.6% this season, and his performance will be crucial against Nebraska's defense, which focuses on interior containment. The Cornhuskers, despite a strong home-court advantage, have shown vulnerabilities in defending perimeter shooters. With both teams reporting no significant injuries, Michigan's ability to capitalize on three-point opportunities may determine the game's outcome. Considering the Wolverines' recent shooting struggles and Nebraska's home strength, betting on Michigan to cover the -1.5 spread is a moderate-risk proposition. Prediction Grade: B-

Expect a high-scoring affair as Michigan visits Nebraska
Grade A-: Over 152 Points

The Michigan Wolverines, aiming to rebound from a recent home loss to Michigan State, travel to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Michigan's offense averages 80.5 points per game, while Nebraska closely trails with 80.0 points per game. Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities, with Nebraska allowing opponents to score 70.3 points per game and Michigan conceding 65.7 points per game. Given these statistics, the over/under line is set at 152 points. Considering both teams' offensive strengths and defensive weaknesses, betting on the over appears favorable. This prediction is graded A- for its high likelihood and potential value.
