Ohio State basketball vs. Nebraska preview, prediction, and odds

Ohio State heads back home to take on Nebraska in a key Big Ten basketball contest. We’ve got a preview and prediction for the game.

Key Player For Ohio State

Forward, E.J. Liddell – There is the potential for Liddell to have a monster game. He should be able to get to any spot he wants and get a lot of damage done in and around the lane in this one. There aren’t too many games where he doesn’t have to go against a big front-line in this league, but this is one. He should also be able to wreak havoc on the boards and pick up some loose change on the offensive end when balls come off the rim. OSU should play through him a ton in this one.

Key Player to Know for Nebraska

Guard, Teddy Allen – Allen plays off the ball and will toss up a three-pointer when he’s open, but his game is more designed to working hard to get the ball in his hands and look to drive and probe in the lane. When he gets the ball, he’s confident and will look to beat his man off the dribble and pull up with a high release point. He leads the Cornhuskers in scoring and will crash the rim at 6-foot, 6-inches for extra opportunities. He is a matchup problem.
