The current betting odds have Nebraska listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Nebraska hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 18-14 record overall and their 7-13 conference record which had them right near the bottom of the Big Ten, but this is still a power conference school and they have a chance to have a much better ending to their season here. They have also been good in these neutral site games this year as they are 3-1. Meanwhile, Georgetown hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 18-15 record overall and their 8-12 conference record which had them in the bottom half of the Big East. They have only played in 2 neutral site games this season too, going 1-1 in those. They are coming off a win over Washington State in their last one, but they did not look good in that game. They were trailing for most of that game and only came back right at the end to win by 3 points. Nebraska is also coming off a win which they struggled in, being down 8 to Arizona State at halftime, but they took over the game in the 2nd half and went on to win by 8 points. Nebraska is going to bring that same energy for this game right from the start, and they have more talent than this weaker Georgetown team anyway. The best way to place a bet here is on Nebraska to cover the spread in this game.

“Cale knows every spot on the floor, one through five offensively and defensively. I thought he was the player of the game. He’s the next guy up a lot and he’s had an unbelievable couple of weeks of practice. I had to get him out there and it paid off for us.” - Fred Hoiberg after his team’s win against Arizona State in the 1st round of the Crown Basketball Tournament.
