Free Betting Pick: Rutgers Scarlet Knights +1.5
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been a mess this season especially after the injury to Isaac Copeland. Rutgers is a young team, but Steve Pikiell has this program moving in the right direction and a tournament win would be monumental for this team heading into next season. Rutgers has shown the ability to play stingy defense against the best of the Big Ten, and I think they do that here. Rutgers wins and covers, 73-71.
