Kennesaw State @ Nebraska

Current Records: Kennesaw State 4-7; Nebraska 5-7

What to Know

The Nebraska Cornhuskers' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Kennesaw State Owls at 7:30 p.m. ET Dec. 22 at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Nebraska came up short against the Kansas State Wildcats on Sunday, falling 67-58. Guard Keisei Tominaga wasn't much of a difference maker for the Cornhuskers; Tominaga finished with only eight points on 3-for-13 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Kennesaw State was just a bucket short of a win this past Saturday and fell 85-84 to the Samford Bulldogs. The defeat was just more heartbreak for Kennesaw State, who fell 65-63 when the teams previously met last December.

Nebraska is the favorite in this one, with an expected 12.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

The losses put Nebraska at 5-7 and the Owls at 4-7. A couple defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cornhuskers are stumbling into the contest with the 22nd most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.6 on average. Kennesaw State has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.10% from the floor on average, which is the 27th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
