The Nebraska Cornhuskers and NC State Wolfpack face off on Wednesday in a college basketball showdown at PNC Arena.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers come into this game with a 5-2 record overall and they have gone 3-4 against the spread. In the last game against South Dakota, the offense was strong scoring 83 points and that led to the 13 point victory. The Cornhuskers are a team that likes to push the pace, and at times their offense has struggled. Bryce McGowens has been the top player for Nebraska averaging 17.7 points while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 25.8 percent from behind the three point line. Alonzo Verge Jr. has also had a big season averaging 13.6 points while shooting 41.7 percent from the field.
On the other side of this matchup is the NC State Wolfpack who sit with a 5-1 record and they have gone 1-5 against the spread. In the last game against Louisiana Tech it was the offense that was elite putting up 90 points. NC State is averaging 77.8 points while their defense is giving up 70.2 points per game. Guard Dereon Seabron has been the best player for NC State averaging 18.8 points while shooting 60.3 percent from the field. There are four different players who are averaging at least 11 points per game.
NC State is 1-10-1 against the spread in their last 12 home games. Nebraska is 1-5 against the spread in their last six games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. The over is 5-0 in NC State’s last five games played on Wednesday. The over is 4-1 in Nebraska’s last five games overall. The over is 4-1 in Cornhusker's last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
These are both teams that like to play at a fast pace and there is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. I expect both teams should get close to 80 points and this game is going to go well over the total. Back the over to cash, and it should go well over the total.
