Premium Pick

Nebraska has been a different team defensively since sophomore forward Ed Morrow returned to the lineup three games ago. They have held opponents to 39 percent shooting and 64.3 points per contest over that stretch. Nebraska prefers a slow pace at #13 in the Big 10 in scoring, and is 11-5 UNDER the total on the road. Michigan State is young but plays great defense for Tom Izzo, fifth in field goal shooting defense in the Big 10, and second at defending the three. Izzo has to figure out how to replace senior guard Eron Harris, the team's third-leading scorer at 10.7 points who suffered a season-ending leg injury against the Purdue Boilermakers the last game. They are #12 in scoring on offense, 10-1 UNDER the total as a favorite of 0.5 to 6.5. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
