The teams split two meetings this season, with Nebraska winning the rematch 84-75 in overtime on March 8. The Cornhuskers come off a thrilling 74-72 victory over Vanderbilt when Braden Frager made a go-ahead layup with two seconds left while totaling 15 points. The Cornhuskers shot 56 percent, but they went UNDER for the third game in a row and fourth of five. Iowa stunned Florida 73-72 as a 10.5-point underdog. Alvaro Folgueiras hit a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left for the Hawkeyes, who won it despite hitting just seven of 24 3-point shots. Nebraska is 23-11 UNDER in 2025-26 and ranks #15 in the country, allowing 65.6 points per game, #15 in defensive field goal percentage (.397), and #11 in defending the 3-pointer (.295). Iowa has lost 9 of 11 straight up as an underdog, and 12 of 14 Thursday games. The Hawkeyes are just 5-5 straight up and ATS in their past 10 games. Take Nebraska as a Max Play, and hit the UNDER.
