Nebraska (15-7, 5-4) at No. 17 Missouri (21-4, 8-2)

Sat. Feb. 14 at 1:30 P.M. EST

Spread: Missouri -11

 

Backcourt Advantage: Even

Nebraska senior Ade Dagunduro (11.8 PPG) is hoping for a repeat performance of his team-leading 20 points during the Cornhuskers' 56-51 win over Missouri in their conference opener. The Tigers will look for revenge on Saturday on their home court.

 

Frontcourt Advantage: Missouri

Forwards DeMarre Carroll (17.4 PPG) and Leo Lyons (14.5 PPG) look to improve upon their combined 19 points on 5-for-13 shooting in their earlier loss to Nebraska. The duo should be able to dominate against a less physical Nebraska front line.

 

Momentum: Missouri

Missouri is coming off of its biggest win of the season, and although one would expect a letdown in its next game, the Tigers will not be looking past Nebraska in this one. Look for Missouri to get revenge on the Cornhuskers and win big.
