The Cornhuskers from Nebraska simply can not catch a break.  Last week they draw the surprising Baylor Bears in the first round of the BIG XII tournament in OK City, now they draw the Lobos of New Mexico.  The Huskers simply are terrible on the road, and the Lobos are spectacular at home.  The Huskers only quality wins this season came on their home court and traveling just does not work in their favor.  

Nebraska is just 11-22 ATS in road games and the only reason their record is that good is because of late free throws down the stretch.  New Mexico is 23-9 ATS in their last 32 home games. Additionally, New Mexico was favored in every single one of those contests, but one. So they play well as big favorites.  Look for the Huskers to struggle as they only average 58.9 PPG on the road.  Nebraska is known for their defense, but don’t look for them to slow down the juggernaut that is New Mexico at home as the Lobos average 78 PPG in Albuquerque. 

Play on New Mexico up to 9 points.

THIS IS A VERY HIGH CONFIDENCE PLAY.
