Nebraska has worked its way into the top-40 favorites in the 2024 March Madness odds, but at  +14500, oddsmakers still aren’t giving the idea of a Husker national championship much credence.

Likely to miss the NCAA Tournament barring a lengthy win streak that ends in the Big Ten title game, the Buckeyes are +26571 longshots, on average, to win their first national championship since 1960.

Cornhuskers Win Four Straight (Over Lesser Competition)

While no coach is going to complain about a four-game win streak in the stacked Big Ten – especially when all four wins came by at least 15 points – Nebraska has had a favorable schedule over the past two weeks. Their four-game win streak includes victories over Michigan (79-59 home), Penn State (68-49 home), Indiana (85-70 away), and Minnesota (73-55 home). The first three are rated between 92nd and 109th at KenPom (three of the four lowest in the conference), while Minnesota is 62nd.

The win at Indiana was just Nebraska’s second true-road victory of the season. The other came Kansas State on Dec. 17 (62-46). The Huskers have also suffered to heartbreaking OT losses on the road (87-82 at Rutgers and 87-84 at Illinois).

Fred Hoiberg has one of the most balanced attacks in the nation this season. Four players are averaging between 12.1 and 14 points per game, led by senior guard Keisei Tominaga. Bradley transfer Rienk Mast (12.9 PPG, 7.8 APG, 3.0 APG) has been one of the best additions to any team from the transfer portal, while Charlotte transfer Brice Williams (12.9 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.4 APG) would also feature highly on that list.

Ohio State Struggling, But Still Solid at Home

During a down year for the Buckeyes, Chris Holtmann’s group has still managed to piece together an 11-4 record at Value City Arena, including two straight wins over Maryland (79-75) and then-#2 Purdue (73-69). The win over the Boilermakers was undoubtedly Ohio State’s best performance of the season. Heading into the matchup, the Buckeyes were just 2-7 against teams rated in KenPom’s top 60. Coupled with a 60-57 win at Michigan State last time out, they are now 4-7 against top-60 teams.

 

Saturday’s win at Michigan State as 10-point road underdogs was all the more impressive in light of the fact that Jamison Battle (14.2 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 44.0 3P%) was out with an ankle injury. His status for tonight’s game hasn’t been made official, but given that he warmed up against MSU, it’s likely he’ll be ready.

Thanks to a run of eight losses in nine games from Jan. 6 to Feb. 6, the Buckeyes are well behind the eight ball when it comes to an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They don’t feature in any projected brackets at the moment, nor are they one of the bubble teams.

Nebraska vs Ohio State Prediction

Nebraska’s ugly 2-7 road record is hard to ignore. This is a very different team away from home, and Ohio State is playing arguably its best basketball of the season at the moment. But 3.5 points is a significant number. The Huskers were able to take Illinois (#13 at KenPom) to OT on the road in early February, and I do expect Hoiberg’s group to at least keep things close with the Buckeyes, if not extend their win streak to five.

NEB vs OSU pick: Nebraska +3.5 (-110)
