Wisconsin Badgers vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers Prediction

I’m on the Cornhuskers here. Both teams are coming off of blowout rivalry wins here so the letdown factor cancels out, but the Cornhuskers have been so good at home this season and in my opinion they’re the better team from the perimeter, both shoot a ton of 3s, but Nebraska closes out on the perimeter better and I think whoever does that is going to have the edge here. Add in home court, and I think Nebraska gets it done here. Give me Nebraska.
