Being undefeated at this stage of the season in college basketball, and barely slipping into the top twenty five is a red flag in my opinion. That is the case for the Nebraska Cornhuskers who have a 9 and 0 record, and are coming off a blowout win over Creighton. Conference play can open the door on team issues. We saw this a year ago when Nebraska started 6-1, and were blown out by the Spartans in their first Big Ten game. The Badgers also limited them to 55 points in last year’s matchup. Grab the points with Wisconsin.

The Badgers stopped playing Bo Ryan-style not long after Greg Gard took over on the bench at Madison, and Wiscy scorelines have been increasing ever since. Already this season the Badgers are scoring almost 88 ppg with one of the rare lineups featuring a pair of 20 ppg scorers (jr. G John Blackwell and ex-FAU/San Diego State G Nick Boyd) . Not to be outdone, Fred Hoiberg's Cornhuskers are 9-0 and efficiently scoring nearly 84 ppg in the process, and among the nation's leaders with 18.6 apg. The perimeter also has a sharper edge with Iowa transfer G Pryce Sandifort (16 ppg) proving a perfect complement to 6-10 Reink Mast (18 ppg). Play Wisconsin-Nebraska Over.
