Nebraska-Omaha is tough to defend, 19th in the nation in points scored (80.2 points per game). They've been even better the last three games tallying 88, 95, and 91 points. The team is hungry, too, as Omaha's 2014 CIT run marks the men's basketball program's first Division I postseason appearance in school history. The Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last four non-conference games and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Nebraska-Omaha roasted North Dakota, 91-75, the last game allowing 36% shooting. They had a 43-30 edge in rebounding and a big advantage in points in the paint, 52-32. They face a Murray State team that you have to wonder: Do they want to be here? Murray State was tops in the Ohio Valley West division (13-3) then got bounced by Eastern Kentucky in the first tourney game, 86-83. They are on 1-2 ATS run and face an uptempo Nebraska-Omaha team that is 5-1 ATS after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. Play Nebraska-Omaha.
