Nebraska vs. Illinois 3:30 PM ET
Game# 611-612
Play On: Nebraska +4.5
Illinois was very lucky to escape with a 3-point win versus #10 seed Ohio State yesterday. During the last 3 seasons under current head coach Brad Underwood, Illinois has gone a dismal 2-10 ATS immediately following a win by 6 or fewer. The Illini have been poor defensively over their previous 5 contests while allowing 78.4 points per game while opponents shot a combined 47.6% and made an alarmingly high 45.5% of their 3-point shot attempts. That shapes up to be problematic considering Nebraska is 4th withing Big 10 play when it comes to 3-point shooting while converting 38.1% of those long-distance attempts.
Nebraska is enjoying one the best seasons in program history and has been surging down the stretch while going 7-1 SU&ATS during their previous 8 contests. The Cornhuskers turned in a masterpiece in yesterday’s quarterfinals while walloping Indiana 93-66. Nebraska has held their last 3 and 6 of their previous 8 opponents to less than 40% shooting. They went up against Illinois once during regular season action and lost 87-84 in overtime but easily covered as a 10.0-point road underdog. They also went 12-28 (42.1%) on their 3-point shot attempts in that contest while holding Illinois to 9-34 (26.5%). Give me Nebraska plus points.
