Meanwhile, UMass has lost back-to-back games to enter Tuesday at 15-11 overall and 6-7 in the MAC. Miami (OH) has three players averaging at least 13.9 points per game, led by guard Brant Byers, who scored 21 points against Ohio on Friday to lift his average to 15 ppg.

Nebraska (+1.5) vs. Iowa (-110)

Iowa has won the last three meetings against Nebraska, but has been on a two-game losing streak and has failed to cover its last three," SportsLine expert Micah Roberts said. "Nebraska has three losses this season, all to the three best teams in the Big Ten: Purdue, Illinois, and Michigan. Iowa is eighth in the conference with eight wins so far, but those wins have come against second-tier Big Ten teams. Nebraska has proved that it is worthy of being a first-class tiered Big Ten squad. Their defense allows only 39.8% shooting, and offensively, they are fourth nationally in assists-to-turnover ratio (1.95). Total team effort. Nebraska averages 79.4 points and is 6-1 on the road. Iowa is outclassed in this game. Nebraska wins. Back Nebraska to cover at DraftKings here:
