Minnesota is coming off of an overtime loss at Michigan Saturday and OT losses are always tough to bounce back from but this is particularly true for a fragile team. The Golden Gophers have lost 5 straight and 8 of their last 9. Minnesota already lost at Nebraska early this season. The bad news for the Gophers in terms of the rematch is that the Huskers have become a better teams since then while they have regressed. The Cornhuskers went only 7-5 SU in their first 12 games this season but they have since gone 10-3 SU. Nebraska is clearly playing their best basketball of the season and the early line move toward Minnesota here has opened up even more line value on the road dog. The Huskers are on a 13-1 ATS run in their last 14 games. The Golden Gophers stayed well within the big number in their OT loss to the Wolverines but entered that game on a 3-12 ATS run their last 15 games. After the deflating defeat, Minnesota is likely to fall short against a Cornhuskers team that is full of confidence.
