Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

We are taking Nebraska +2.5 as they carry massive momentum into the Round of 32 following a historic 29-point blowout of Troy, where Pryce Sandfort showcased elite form with 23 points and seven triples. While Vanderbilt carries momentum from an SEC semifinal upset of Florida, Nebraska's core offensive efficiency (112.4 AdjOE) remains lethal despite season-ending injuries to depth players Jarusevicius and Essegian. With the Cornhuskers covering in four of their last five games as underdogs and the +118 moneyline suggesting a mathematical outlier, we expect Nebraska to keep this matchup within a single possession.
