Joe D's NCAAB Game of the Month

Northwestern vs. Nebraska, 01/26/2013 15:00 EDT, Score: 49 - 64

Point Spread: -1½/-110 Northwestern

Sportsbook: BookMaker

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Northwestern over Nebraska. This is my NCAAB Game of the Month.

Northwestern is brimming with confidence, having beaten two top-ranked teams this week and coming down to the wire against Indiana. The Wildcats have covered three straight. Northwestern's 1-3-1 zone will give problems to the already problematic Nebraska offense (averaging 57.5 PPG at home). The Huskers have dropped 7 of their L9 and are shooting an atrocious 32% from beyond the arc. The core of NWs squad is Hearn, Sobolewski, and Swopshire (all averaging about DDs or higher). The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS on the road this season. Take Northwestern. Thank you.
