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.

How It’ll All Go Down

Ohio State should get back in the win column in this one, though it can’t take things for granted. As long as the Buckeyes take care of the ball, they should be able to get some good shots and open looks while taking advantage of some matchup advantages against Nebraska. The ‘Huskers have had problems scoring against good defensive teams in the Big Ten, and that’s what they’ll be facing in this one with Ohio State.

Final Score

Ohio State 71, Nebraska 60
