Nebraska + the pts.
In state rivalry... They defend the 3 very well allowing just 29.3% from there. Also have a high steal % at 11.1%. I'll attribute that to their tough guards parker, watson, Webster. They limit 2nd chance points with good gang rebounding. Shavon shields is truly a star and has everything a team needs in a star player. Creighton is allowing 38.4% 3p shooting and Nebraska shoots it at a decent clip af 37.5% so they should be able to create. Defense travels, and Nebraska should take theirs on the road here in this in state rivalry.
They also get to the line and are 32nd In nation in off rebounding %.

Southern Illinois - the pts.

Edwardsville is 0-4 on the road... Granted they've played some decent opponents. But they lost to a ehhhhh team in IPFW on road by 20. Their defense is atrocious. Bottom of country in efficiency, FG%, TO%, 3p%, steal %...
Southern shoots the ball well at 35% from 3 and a great 56% from 2p. They're smaller team, BUT only 4.0 block rate which is good enough for 4th in country. they'll be out sized again but they will speed up edwardsville and make them uncomfortable. They're a junior and senior led team who is off to a great start this year and they're gonna keep things rolling I believe.
Their defense does everything pretty well and really turns people over at 22.8% TO rate.

Denver +.

San Diego offense is the most abysmal thing I've seen. Lol.
YES they beat sdsu... But that was an anomaly. They're bottom of the country in virtually every category on offense and their defense isn't any better.
Denver shoots the ball very well and has a nice offense. They have a 56.9% eff fg%. 36.6% 3pers, 58.6% 2pers (9th in country).
They also defend well allowing just 46.9% eff fg%. They force TOs at a 23.7% rate good enough for 16th in country while SD turns it over at a 21.1% rate on offense.

Thoughts on the 119 total for Denver/San Diego? That's very low, but I'm thinking it's because of how horrendous SD's offense is, as you said.

[Husker36]

Love the Nebraska play. Fan of both teams and follow both closely. Really suprised Nebraska isnt favored in this game.

Teams play very slow.
Both average 20 seconds per offensive possession and 17 seconds per defensive.

That total seems about spot on... I could see around 60-58 Denver.

Creighton has covered 8 straight vs Nebraska...but then again, I'm not one to be too concerned about those trends.

Never would've guessed

Lol

But yes, I agree. But jays usually pretty tough on home court.
Nebraska just TOUGH this year. Did not expect it. Shields has slid right into fill the scoring role (expected that) but the guards have really stepped up and come into their own.

Interesting I had to do some looking at that....
I think the 4 years dougie was there, its kind of obvious they were better
I think braska is better this year than last, by quite a bit. Shields is silky smooth this year and their guard play has been alot better.

Never know which Columbia will show up.

Their term papers are due this week and they will be short on sleep.

That's the sort of insight I never take into account

I looked at it.. Too many pts for me on road.
Manhattan has more potential than that

[bndet99]

Any thoughts on Hofstra? I like their squad even though they are limited off the bench. I have not watched Siena play this year so I am a little unsure if I should pull the trigger. With 6 players, Hofstra did beat a very talented FSU team

Give me vandy and Denver to save face.
