The Michigan Wolverine swere surely embarrassed by a stretch that saw them lose back-to-back games at home to New Jersey Tech and Eastern Michigan. They have played a lot better since with a pair of wins followed by a tough overtime loss to a top-rated Wisconsin team. Tonight they take on Nebraska who has not been much better, and has really faltered on the road. The Cornhuskers have just a single road win on the season, losing their last two roadies by double-digits. The total is set way too low here as Nebraska seems to forget about defense on the road, and that is one reason why they have struggled to find the win column off their home court. The Huskers have allowed at least 65 points to all five teams they have taken on while on the road, and that will come back to bite them in this one. Michigan has some strong three-point shooters, and have a tendency to knock them down at home. Nebraska has not fared well when playing on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600 where they are just 10-25-1 ATS in their last 36. Michigan has been as tough as nails for quite some time when following a loss at 36-17 ATS in their last 53. Nebraska's lack of defensive effort on the road has seen four of their five roadies this season top the total. This one goes to Michigan and the OVER.
