Three weeks ago, Illinois won the first meeting between these teams in Nebraska 76-50, and I expect another low-scoring affair here. Illinois has not scored more than 69 points in any of their last three games, as they are attempting alot of threes but not knocking them down with a high success rate. Nebraska is averaging 59.8 ppg in their last six Big Ten games and is in the bottom 35 in the nation in three-point and free-throw percentage.
The over is just 6-15-1 in Nebraska games this season and the over is 2-5-1 in Illinois last 8 home games.
Take the under.
