Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs Tennessee Volunteers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/23/24

The Big Ten Tournament starts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana on Wednesday night. The conference’s four worst teams will be in action, at least accoridng to their records. The game in question for us is the late one between Nebraska and Penn State. Some have said that Penn State is a very dangerous 11 seed in the Big Ten tourney.

Penn State is -6 for this one at Bovada Sportsbook with a total of 146.5, but it is worth noting that we will probably see a lot of under money in this conference tournament with a large football stadium that will mostly be devoid of people. This will be a very unique shooting backdrop to say the least.

The winner of this game will take on Wisconsin on Thursday.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Nebraska Cornhuskers</strong></span></h3>
Poor Nebraska. The Cornhuskers aren’t a bad team by any means, but being in the Big Ten is a very tough place to be. Nebraska did play two close games with Penn State during the regular season. The Huskers actually picked up one of their three Big Ten wins by topping Penn State by a 62-61 score in Happy Valley. At the time, it was Nebraska’s first conference win.

The Cornhuskers have the conference’s worst offense. They turn it over more than anybody else and are the worst team in the Big Ten at the free throw line. Nebraska is a pretty inefficient offense all the way around, as the Huskers are going into this one shooting just 46.1% on two-point shots.

Penn State got a measure of revenge in the second game by a much higher score of 86-83. That game was played to 79 possessions. The first game was only played to 69. Nebraska is actually the fastest team in the Big Ten from an adjusted tempo standpoint. They were able to speed up the second game, but to their detriment.

Fred Hoiberg wants this team to push the pace a little bit, though the reasons why very much escape me. They are inefficient on offense and don’t take care of the basketball. COVID has certainly brought about a lot of challenges, but the fact that Nebraska showed no improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 with Hoiberg is rather concerning.

The lone area of great improvement has been 3P% defense for the Huskers. Opponents are only shooting 31.3% on those in league action. Penn State does shoot a lot of threes, so that could be the thing that keeps this game close.

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Penn State Nittany Lions</strong></span></h3>
Penn State’s problems run deep on the offensive side. The Nittany Lions rank 14th in the conference at 44.4% on two-point shots. They simply have not been efficient on good looks at the rim. They’ve also taken way too many long twos. This could very well be a coaching issue, but it could also be a talent issue with a team that cannot keep pace with the other Big Ten programs. First-year head coach Jim Ferry took over when the seemingly endless scandals or Patrick Chambers became too much to handle.

Ferry hadn’t been a head coach since 2017 with Duquesne. His tenure in Pittsburgh was not overly successful. Because of the strength of the Big Ten, it looks like Penn State is a good offense based on the adjustments made to the quality of competition and the schedule, but this is definitely a poorer offense by Big Ten standards. It doesn’t look like they take a lot of smart shots and have taken a lot of long jumpers while not being overly proficient with them.

The thing about Penn State, though, is that they do have some upside. They have no consistency whatsoever, but the season-ending win at Maryland was a good one and the Nittany Lions have also knocked off Wisconsin and Rutgers. On the other hand, Penn State didn’t beat any of the best teams in this conference. Nebraska is not one of those and Penn State’s split shows their inconsistency.

This is an experienced team at least. It is also a team that performs well at the free throw line. Those are certainly two things that you want at this time of the year.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Pick &amp; Analysis</strong></span></h3>
We’ll see if this game is played up into the 70s in terms of possessions. It probably should be. The play here is the under, though. At Lucas Oil Stadium, a smattering of fans will be on hand to partake in these early games, but this is an NFL football stadium hosting basketball games. The shooting backdrops will be never-ending.

These are already two inefficient offensive teams to begin with. I don’t want to overthink this one.

<p>It has become pretty clear that college football is running things when it comes to college athletics; college basketball is also a huge moneymaker as well. Unfortunately, college basketball doesn’t really have any say when it comes to what goes on with conferences, and things have started to become an absolute mess.</p>



<p>The Pac-12 Conference is going to fold at the conclusion of this year as there will be new superconferences throughout the country. The ACC and Big Ten Conferences are going to get much bigger as they have swallowed up teams from the Pac-12.</p>



<p>While many are in agreement that this is going to improve the overall product of college football, it’s going to kill basketball. The NCAA Tournament selection committee is going to find it nearly impossible to select teams as some conferences will have 12-15 worthy teams.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out the full NCAAB 2023 odds over on Bookmaker</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-more-movement-in-pac-12">More Movement in Pac-12</h2>



<p>There has been a mass exodus from the Pac-12 Conference over the past 12 months, and everything has been about money and television exposure. Some of those moves can be pretty easily explained, but we now have conferences that span coast to coast.</p>



<p>The ACC and Big Ten are going to have to change up how they schedule basketball games, as teams can’t be traveling across the country in the middle of the week. It was just announced that the ACC has agreed to add California, Stanford, and SMU, as this league is not only looking to steal from the Pac-12 but also looking elsewhere.</p>



<p>Since the Pac-12 is likely going to fold, that is going to create even more movement in the future. A lot of people are against expansion when it comes to the NCAA Tournament, but something is going to have to be done to the current format to make things work moving forward.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-current-odds-to-win-title">Current Odds to Win Title</h2>



<p>None of these changes are going to impact the 2023-24 college basketball season, but they will have an impact in 2024 and beyond. Betting odds to win the championship this year are available, but they could look much different after this year.</p>



<p>Here is a brief look at the current betting favorites to win the NCAA Championship and where those schools will be heading moving forward.</p>



<p>Kansas is the betting favorite to win the title this season at +900 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/">BetOnline</a>, and they could be in a good spot moving forward. With Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for the SEC after this year, that’s going to take away some talent from the conference.</p>



<p>Purdue and Kentucky are the next teams on the list heading into 2023-24, and those teams won’t be going anywhere. Life for each team will be much different moving forward, though, as the Big Ten and SEC are going to look much different.</p>



<p>If we continue down the list of betting favorites, you are going to see that it’s mostly blue blood basketball programs. Those schools aren’t going to be changing conferences anytime soon, but things will still get tougher on them with the addition of new teams.</p>



<p>We still have more than 12 months before we really start to worry about college basketball in 2024-25, but it’s clear that things are going to be changing.</p>
