Omaha Looks for Third Win

Omaha has already played two games so far this season and they are looking for their third win here. In the last game, Omaha went on the road to Stetson and they were able to secure the 79-76 victory. At halftime, they were up 48-41 and even though they weren’t as good in the second half, they were able to hold on for the win. Marquell Sutton had a strong game putting up 25 points, 10 rebounds, and one assist. Lance Waddles had a strong game putting up 15 points, eight rebounds, and two assists. Omaha will meet UNLV after this one.

Why Omaha Will Cover Against Minnesota

  • Minnesota has lost six of its last seven games when playing with a rest advantage.
  • Omaha has won three of its last four night games.
  • Omaha has won the first half in each of its last three night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Minnesota Cruised in the First Game

Minnesota in the first game faced off against Oral Roberts and they were able to secure the victory. At halftime, they were up 38-24 and in the second half, it was even better as the offense put up 42 points. As a team, the Gophers shot 57.7 percent from the field and 61.1 percent from deep. They hit 11 of their 18 shots from deep. Dawson Garcia is one of the best players in the Big Ten and he put up 30 points, eight rebounds, and two assists. Parker Fox is the heart and soul of the team and he put up 13 points, two rebounds, and one assist. Minnesota will face North Texas, Yale, and Cleveland State following this one.

Nebraska-Omaha vs Minnesota Prediction

Minnesota is going to win this game, but they are laying too many points here. Minnesota isn’t going to shoot 61.1 percent from deep again, and that is going to be the difference here. Omaha in the last game scored 79 points and their defense is going to find similar success with the scoring. This feels more like an 8 or 10-point game, not this big of a number. Back Omaha against the spread here.
