South Dakota vs Nebraska Prediction 

Nebraska comes into this matchup after picking up a great win against Creighton last time out. The Cornhuskers have only lost once so far this season, but they are only shooting 42.8% from the field. South Dakota has lost two of their last three games against D-1 opponents and they have allowed 92 and 96 points in those two losses. The Coyotes have bolstered their stats against non-D-1 teams and I think they are going to get blown out here. Take the Cornhuskers at home.
