Cincinnati at Nebraska

Cincinnati plays its first true road game of the season in this one. The Bearcats’ strength is on the defensive end where they are holding opponents to 38% shooting and are averaging over six blocked shots per game. Only two of UC's first seven opponents have scored at least 60 points. Cincinnati is on a 43-11 run UNDER the total, including 40-12 UNDER the total in non-conference games. Cincy is also 16-6 UNDER the total on the road. Nebraska's turnaround last year was keyed by an emphasis on the defensive end of the court and that has continued this season. The Huskers got off to a strong start, holding their first six opponents to 38% shooting from the floor. Cincinnati and Nebraska met last year with the Bearcats claiming a 74-59 win and this shapes up as even more of a defensive battle. Play this one UNDER the Total.
