I can't see Nebraska wanting to run with UCLA. The Cornhuskers blew an eight-point lead with just under 40 seconds remaining Thursday against Dayton and fell behind by one before surviving with an 80-78 victory. This is a quick turnaround and the Huskers will lean on their defense, going five of seven UNDER the total against the Pac 12. UCLA came into the tournament averaging 106 points but stayed in single digits yesterday as Portland prevented easy transition baskets by dropping multiple players back on defense as soon as they put up a shot. Look for Nebraska to do the same. The Bruins stayed with a seven-man rotation for nearly the entire game Thursday, but the coach hinted he may use the bench more after playing yesterday. This one stays UNDER the total
