#684 ASA PLAY ON Boise State -125 over Nebraska, Saturday at 1:30 PM ET - Both teams have 2 wins in this tourney but the Huskers have been fortunate with the teams they’ve faced to date. In their opener they faced an Arizona State team that was missing 3 of their top 6 scorers. It took a 51% shooting effort from Nebraska to hold on for an 8 point win in a game they trailed for the majority of. On Wednesday they faced Georgetown who was almost massively short handed down 3 starters, who are the Hoyas 3 leading scorers, who combined to average 45 PPG this season. The Huskers finally get a full strength team in Boise State that is absolutely rolling on offense right now. The Broncos have scored 89 and 100 points in their 2 games vs George Washington and Butler winning both easily. Their GW game was a 30 point win and their Butler game, while a 7 point win, they were more dominant than that scoring leading by 16 late and still held a 12 point lead with 45 seconds left. Butler’s only lead of the entire game was right out of the gate at 3-0. Boise is one of the top rebounding teams in the country (+15 in the first 2 games) and we expect them to win the glass again here vs a Nebraska team that ranks near the bottom of the Big 10 in both offensive and defensive rebounding. Boise has the better offensive efficiency, eFG%, and FT% at 78%. The Broncs have won 13 of their last 16 games with their only losses coming vs Colorado State (twice), who won the conference and beat Memphis in the NCAA before losing by 1 point vs Maryland, and San Diego State who also made the Big Dance. The Huskers lost 6 of 7 entering this tournament before getting some fortunate breaks with a number of players missing from their opponents in the last 2 games. Boise is the better team right now and at this small number we get a reasonable price on the money line which is a great value here. We’ll side with the Broncos.
