Nebraska vs. Northwestern Odds & Betting Predictions - February 8, 2024

Northwestern long overdue for negative regression from 3. They have shot the ball at a ridiculous 44.2% rate in conference play despite being 230th in open 3 rate (21.1%), per ShotQuality Nebraska 3pt defense has struggled in conference play (12th, 38.1%) but actually rank inside the top 5 in open 3s allowed (sub-15%!) Tack on Huskers hot shooting that’s due for regression - they’re also 307th open 3 rate - and Northwestern being a bit unlucky in B10 play defensively from 3, and we should see a lower-scoring game Most of both these teams’ points come from 3 and neither have high turnover rates. We should see a slow-paced game between 2 defenses that force long possessions. Both T-30 in (or bottom 30, depending how you look) in avg. poss length - longer the better here.
