T.M. Selection: Rutgers.

I like Rutgers to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Rutgers got off to a rough start this year but they have been playing much better as of late. They have won 3 games in a row and have won all of those games by 8+ points. Rutgers has also been a very good team on their home court winning 8/9 games this year. They have won 4 of their previous 5 home games by 8+ points and the 1 game that they won by 2 points was a game where they upset Purdue who was the 1st ranked team in the country at the time. I think Rutgers has started to figure out their game as the year has progressed and I expect them to continue this good run of play that they are on. Nebraska has been a terrible team this year losing 2 games in a row and they have already lost all 4 games in conference play that they have played already. They only have 1 win in 8 games and that win came against Kennesaw State at home. They have also lost 6 of their previous 8 games by 8+ points. Nebraska started off alright but they have looked very bad ever since hitting conference play. I think they are going to struggle on the road in here in this conference game and will remain winless in both road games and conference play. I think Rutgers is starting to find their groove lately and they have already shown they can go face to face with top ranked teams and come away with the win. I think Rutgers has a better team and I don't think Nebraska is going to be able to get their 1st road win and 1st conference win of the year against a team like Rutgers with how well they have been playing lately. I like Rutgers to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Rutgers.
