Indiana Seeks First Road Win Of The Season In Nebraska

The Indiana Hoosiers (12-4 SU, 10-6 ATS) are 0-8 SU and ATS in their last eight games on the road, including an 0-4 SU and ATS start on the road this season. The Hoosiers will try to snap that road losing streak against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-12, 8-10) on Monday night and cash in as the favorite in this Hoosiers vs Cornhuskers prediction.

Indiana’s Home Dominance Hasn’t Translated To Road Success

Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 18 points and recorded 11 rebounds on Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough to get the job done as the Hoosiers lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes 83-74. This was a rare off-night for an Indiana defense that had allowed only 57.1 points per game over its previous eight games. Jackson-Davis has picked up where he left off last season, averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game in 2021-22.

The loss to Iowa came as 4.5-point road underdogs. Indiana was also an underdog in its 64-59 road loss to Wisconsin and was a small road favorite in its losses at Syracuse and Penn State. The Hoosiers are 11-0 SU and 9-2 ATS at home, but their weak road play has prevented them from establishing themselves as a reliable Hoosiers vs Cornhuskers prediction.

Nebraska’s Weak Defense Has Led To Winless Conference Record

The Cornhuskers were never able to get anything going in a 92-65 blowout loss against the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday night. Prior to the big loss as a 20-point underdog, Nebraska had compiled a 4-1 ATS record over its previous five games despite having only one outright win over that stretch. Nebraska is 1-10 SU and 5-6 ATS over its last 11 games since opening the season with a 5-2 SU and 3-4 ATS record.

With Bryce McGowens (15.5 points per game) and Alonzo Verge Jr. (14 ppg) leading the way, the Cornhuskers have averaged a respectable 73.4 points per game on offense. But that relative success in the frontcourt has been offset by awful play in the backcourt, allowing 79.2 points per game. Nebraska is 0-7 SU in conference play and has allowed 86 points per game in those seven matchups.

Hoosiers vs Cornhuskers Pick & Insights

Hoosiers: Keys To Cover

The Hoosiers took care of business as a solid Hoosiers vs Cornhuskers prediction in their 68-55 win at home over Nebraska in December. Now Indiana just needs to overcome its road demons and produce a similar effort at Nebraska on Monday.

Cornhuskers: Keys To Cover

Holding Indiana to 68 points was Nebraska’s best defensive effort in conference play this season by a wide margin. A similar effort on defense coupled with home court and a better day on offense could make Nebraska a victorious Hoosiers vs Cornhuskers pick.
