Bet Cornhuskers To Continue Home Streak Against Gophers

· Feb 25 - 4 minutes read

Nebraska will be the favorite in the NCAA basketball lines when it tries to reach 20 victories for the second time since 2007-08 on Sunday against visiting Minnesota in a Big Ten battle.

The Cornhuskers, who won 22 games in 2017-18, have won 10 straight at home and are 8-0 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Big Ten games. Nebraska, a good bet to make its first NCAA Tournament since 2014, has won three in a row.

Keisei Tominaga scored 20 in the 85-70 win at Indiana on Wednesday and the Japan native drained 15 of 33 attempts from 3-point range the last five games if you bet sports online.

Minnesota also has a chance at an NCAA bid after winning five of its last seven games to reach 17 victories, but is 2-5 in Big Ten road contests. The Golden Gophers won their last two outings at home against Rutgers and Ohio State.
