Free Pick: Nebraska -2.5 (-110)
Wed February 27 ‘08 8:00p
Tonight’s Big XII matchup in Lincoln is a critical one for both school’s postseason hopes.

Nebraska, however, has a few things on its side tonight, not the least of which is the homecourt advantage at the Devaney Center.

The Cornhuskers, who are coming off a road win at Texas A&M, are 14-3 straightup at home this season and face a Sooner squad that has struggled on the road in recent seasons.

Oklahoma has only covered four of its past 19 games on the Big XII road, in addition to only having brought home the money in three of its past dozen games this season at all venues.

Nebraska’s Aleks Maric, who averages 16 points and 10 rebounds, is one of the Big XII’s top inside players and should be able to at least somewhat offset the Sooners’ bread and better which is their interior play.
