Nebraska vs Rutgers (4:00pm)

Updated: Mar 7



Since January 2018, Nebraska and Rutgers have maintained an even 5-5 record against each other, but this balance may soon shift. The two teams are set to engage in a Big Ten clash at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Jersey Mike's Arena. Coming off losses in their previous games, both teams are motivated to secure a victory. 


Nebraska has proven to be a legitimate contender that can match up for any team in the Big Ten Conference. Across the season, the Cornhuskers maintain an average of 78.3 points, 38.8 rebounds, and 16.1 assists per game, while allowing an average of 69.1 points against. Keisei Tominaga leads the team with an average of 14.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. Nebraska's shooting percentages for the season stand at 45% from the field, 75.2% on free throws, and 34.4% on three-pointers.


Rutgers lacks a clearly defined scorer, with only two players averaging double figures. The leading scorer, Aundre Hyatt, is a 6'6 senior forward averaging 12 PPG. Hyatt stands out as the top scorer, showcasing versatility both inside and outside at 235 pounds. Additionally, he leads the team in made threes, hitting 32 at a 35.6% shooting rate. Another significant contributor is 6'7 senior Mawot Mag, scoring 10.9 PPG and contributing 5.1 RPG. Mag has demonstrated the potential for high-scoring performances, highlighted by a notable 24-point game against Iowa.  


The current over/under line for today stands at 142, which is lower than the average over/under line in Nebraska's games this year (147.6). Over the last three games, the average scoring total has been 162 points, and the over/under record for their last 10 games is 7-3. Notably, there was a significant adjustment to this total by bookmakers early this morning. The total initially opened at 141.5 and was swiftly bet up to 144 points. This notable shift is likely attributed to sharp action favoring the Over. Personally, I had this game handicapped at 148 points, aligning my expectations with the insights of the sharps.
