Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions: Betting Odds
The Cornhuskers have not had a perfect start to the season. They have two wins and a loss. Their opening game was a home win against the Maine Black Bears (79-66). Their second game was also a home win against the Omaha Mavericks (75-61) but the third and last game was an away loss against the St. John's Red Storm (70-50).
Sam Griesel has been one of the best performers for the Cornhuskers team. Except for Game 3, the guard was phenomenal in the opening two games and averaged close to 20 points. However, he fell short in the third, something he would like to improve on in the upcoming games.
The Golden Lions will have to do something to save their season. They have just one win in six games, which is rather disappointing. The win came against Champion Baptist College, a non-AP team (87-55). They now have a tough task at hand to become the away team and try to beat a strong Cornhuskers team.

Apart from Sam Griesel, Keisei Tominaga impressed everyone coming off the bench. He scored 19 points in the first game while playing 20 minutes but did not score anything in the following game. However, he bounced back in the third and scored 15 points. The Golden Lions are sure to have a tough time when they go out to face these players.

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions: Prediction
The two teams have met three times so far and the Cornhuskers have won all three games against the Golden Lions. The situation this time looks no different. Arkansas are struggling to find a win and their form is pathetic. The Cornhuskers are a better team and they host the game, which automatically makes them the favorites. Expect an easy win for the home team.
Final Prediction: Cornhuskers -20 (-110)
