Troy vs. Nebraska

Nebraska has had a big year for NCAAB, as the Cornhuskers arrive in Oklahoma City with a 26-6 overall record. They will take on Troy, who enters the tournament at 22-11. Troy is led by Thomas Dowd, who averages 14.8 PPG and 10.1 RPG, as he has had 17 double-doubles on the season. Troy has questionable depth, as the Trojans have just six players averaging more than 4 PPG. Nebraska did not close out the season very well. They started 20-0, but have since been a .500 team at 6-6 over their last 12 games. Troy closed the season at 17-6 and suffered just one out-of-conference loss by more than 11 points. This team is battle-tested, and Nebraska has not looked like the team that started 20-0. I like Troy in this one.
