7:00 p.m. ET: Michigan Wolverines (5-3) at Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-4)

Spread: Michigan -6.5
Total: 140

Michigan (5-3) lost 72-51 at North Carolina, causing it to fall out of the AP Top 25. Nebraska (5-4, 0-1 Big Ten) has lost 2 in a row since a 4-game win streak, most recently losing 68-55 at Indiana on Saturday in its conference opener. That game came less than three days after a marathon outing at North Carolina State, which the Cornhuskers lost 104-100 in four overtimes. Nebraska’s Bryce McGowens has averaged 17.3 points and 6.9 rebounds while Alonzo Verge Jr. has put up 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. For the Wolverines, Hunter Dickinson has averaged 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds while Eli Brooks has put up 14.4 points and four rebounds. Michigan looks for its 6th straight win in the head-to-head series over Nebraska. Michigan has won by an average of 19 points in its last 5 wins over the Cornhuskers. Since joining the Big Ten in 2011-12 the Cornhuskers are 1-13 against the Wolverines, their only win coming at home in 2018. With Nebraska only getting production from Alonzo and McGowens, Michigan can take them out of their game with their tough defense. The Wolverines should be able to limit the turnovers to get the win and the cover in this one.
