NCAA Basketball Betting – Texas Tech at Nebraska
Our Sportsbooks: College basketball bettors will get to see the “other” Knight on the sidelines on Saturday, when the Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-9 SU, 11-5 ATS) visit Lincoln to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers (13-7 SU, 3-9 ATS) in Big 12 action set to tip off at 4 PM ET at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Here are some of the NCAA basketball betting trends that relate to this matchup:
* TT has covered five of its last six games
* TT has played six of its last eight games UNDER the total
* TT has lost its last five road games
* NEB has covered one of its last seven games
* NEB has lost five of its last seven games SU
* NEB has played four of its last six games UNDER the total
* NEB has won 13 of its last 15 home games SU
* NEB has won and covered five of the last six meetings as the home team
* TT has had the shooting edge in five of the last six meetings
* NEB has made more three-pointers in each of the last six meetings
It was no shame for the Red Raiders to lose to capable Baylor in Pat Knight’s debut as head coach. By his own admission, the younger Knight said that “I asked them to do a lot of things they weren’t used to doing.” That may be where the most difficult part of this transition takes place – in stepping out of what The General had this team used to doing, by way of constant drilling and regimentation. They even played a little ZONE – blasphemous!
Not that Nebraska is a particularly intimidating presence, but the Huskers are one of the toughest teams to score on in the country. In allowing just 36.6% shooting, Nebraska is behind only Georgetown and Mississippi State in defense. They can force some turnovers too (8.8 steals a game).
Nebraska has a hard time hitting the side of a barn at times, but on defense they’ve been tough from the perimeter lately, holding each of their last three opponents to 26% or less from beyond the arc. that should bother three-point specialists like Alan Voskuhl for sure. And Nebraska plays things very SLOW.
This is one of those games where maybe the Raiders could have used Bob Knight’s ingenuity to solve a difficult opponent. Let’s not forget that Nebraska has pulled off home upsets over the likes of Arizona State, Oregon and Missouri, and got to within two points of Baylor. We’ll take the home team in the BetUS NCAA college basketball betting odds.
