Nebraska continues to play one of the toughest schedules in these United States in college basketball. In about an hour they go against Ohio State rated #11. Nebraska has worked up to #152. Nebraska is 11-11 and have lost seven of their last nine but much of that time they have played pretty well.
Ohio St. has averaged 72 points per game and manhandled Nebraska earlier in the season at Ohio St. This time it is in Lincoln which will help. Ohio St. is 16-4 overall and 6-2 in the conference. They are led by Deshaun Thomas who is averaging 20 points a game. He is an All-American and Nebraska has nobody that can match up to him. Nebraska also lacks depth.
You take Thomas out of the lineup and I think Nebraska could be Ohio St. tonight. That means Nebraska is one or two great players away from being at or near the top.
Ray Gallegos is ninth in the Big 10 in points and 9th in steals. He is 32nd nationally in 3-pointers. Brandon Ubel is ranked 10th in rebounds in the big 10.
Ohio St. is one of the best teams in the nation in turnovers.
Ohio St. is favored by 13 points.
Tonight's score will be close to:
Ohio State 72 Nebraska 60
GO BIG RED!!
