Indiana vs Nebraska ATS Pick: Nebraska -4½

There was a time when it would be unthinkable that Nebraska would be favored in the Big Ten tournament against Indiana. However, the Cornhuskers have clearly been the better team this season.

Indiana has won five of its last six games in March but that trend is very much at risk after Indiana looked overmatched in both of its regular-season games against the Cornhuskers.

Trey Galloway, one of four double-digit scorers for Indiana, is questionable with a knee injury. Jarron Coleman and Blaise Keita are among the players continuing to be sidelined for Nebraska.

Indiana vs Nebraska Player Prop Pick: Keisei Tominaga to score 15+ Points (-113)

Keisei Tominaga had 30 points in Nebraska’s regular-season finale. Don’t expect to see him approach that mark but take a look at the college basketball player props for him to top his 14.6 scoring average this season. He had 20 and 28 points in the two previous matchups with Indiana this season.
