Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Huskers struggle to put points on the board when not in Lincoln, as they average less than 59 points a game, which is 296th in Division I basketball.
Texas would have to be an ornery bunch right now, as they went to Lubbock this past weekend and lost by three points to a Texas still tops the list of all division I clubs when it comes to taking care of the ball, and indeed it's no surprise that with All-American DJ Augustin handling the ball, they cough it up only 9.6 times per contest.
Nebraska's stock-in-trade has been defense, as the Huskers have limited teams to just 38% shooting. But Texas, at 39%, isn't far behind. The real question here is focus. When the game has the Horns' full attention, they are difficult to touch. Wisconsin), we expect the Longhorns to bounce back in a big way.
We will lay the points with Texas, the 14.5-point favorite in the BetUS NCAA basketball betting odds.
