    Colorado at Nebraska

    I love Colorado +4 at Nebraska. I think Colorada can handle the pressure that Nebraska puts on the defensive side of the ball. Colorado seems to play well against teams that try to play up tempo and force a lot of turnovers (Missouri for example).

    I don't see Nebraska as an "up tempo" team.

    Your right I worded that wrong but they are like missouri in that they throw alot of people at you and they play hard pressure defense forcing a lot of turnovers the whole game. I think they can handle that defensive pressure.

    I think people probably look at this game and think Colorado +4 is a gift based on the way Colorado has played recently coupled with the fact that Nebraska is usually irrelevant in basketball.

    Nebraska "can" be tough at home. I'm not totally sold on Colorado on the road either. Colorado just beat K-State in Manhattan but imo, K-State is a team in free fall right now so I don't know how to gauge how big of a win that was. Also, Colorado has road losses to San Francisco and a blowout loss to Harvard.

    Nebraska played KU and Mizzou tought away from Lincoln.

    At home Nebraska has some pretty solid wins again Creighton, USC, and Iowa state.

    Nebraska is 13-4. Two of those losses were by 3 points to KU and Davidson and the other two were close games to Mizzou and Purdue. Those aren't bad losses like San Francisco.

    I feel like Colorado is more athletic but Nebraska is a capable team, especially at home. I feel like this is a sharp line. Be careful with this one.

    Yeah that K-State win in retrospect doesn't look nearly as strong..I'll take the USC W actually as of now.

    Colorado violates the "3 good players" rule: in order to be a contender, you have to have 3 stars. Colorado has Cory Higgins, Alec Burks, and...?

    Contender... agharah1? what are you talking about? We're talking about Colorado at Nebraska... obviously neither team is a "contender"
