Prediction

Big Ten rivals meet on the hardwood in an unlikely Sweet 16 matchup Thursday night in Houston. It’s been a magical season for the Cornhuskers, who have set a school record with 28 victories. Nebraska has tremendous depth and experience, which comes into play in March. Iowa shocked the bracket by ousting No. 1 seed Florida, but they’ve been inconsistent at best during the season. The Huskers are 12-4 straight-up in road/neutral games this season and will have thousands of fans backing them in Houston. It will be a dog fight, but I like Nebraska to advance.

Pick: Nebraska -1.5
