PICK: I’m leaning toward Nebraska in this one. You could make a good case either way, though; we should have a good matchup, and both teams are coming off sluggish first halves in their last appearances. Nebraska ended up shooting 53.7 percent against AR-Pine Bluff with 37 rebounds and 17 assists. Oklahoma shot 43.6 percent in their comeback win over South Alabama, adding 39 rebounds and 16 assists. I like this one to be back and forth before Nebraska ekes out a cover.
