Kansas St. -3 (1 unit) vs. Nebraska - a little bit scared of this game, and that's why you only see 1 unit wagered.  When was the last time Nebraska bball had a home game on National TV?  Don't even both trying to look it up because I'm sure it hasn't happened in the last 10 years.  I'm also a bit scared of the reverse line movement so far... the public is hitting KSU at 70%+ and then Vegas drops the line from 3.5 to 3, and now the public is even higher on KSU (just what Vegas wants).  Obviously they know something, or at least they feel the same way I do with what I just explained.  Nebraska is also a silly 12-3 SU at home, but they really don't have any high caliber wins unless you include Arizona St., Iowa St., or Texas Tech in that category.  Kansas St has lost their last 2 road games to Missouri and Texas Tech, and are just 2-4 SU on the road this season.  That doesn't bode well for them come tourney time if they cannot win on the road, or on a neutral site for that fact.  Michael Beasley is a beast, like the Dwight Howard of the NCAA.  Good luck to the Cornhuskers defending him tonight.  I thought about throwing 0.5 units on the Nebraska ML but it wouldn't really be worth it.

concur with much of what u have to say obes.  But would add that Huskers 12-3 SU at home but 2-3 v B12 at home and 1-4 ATS.  Leaning towards St but not quite ready to pull trigger just yet.

I think it's a trap game as well. Vegas knows something. However I've got +4.5 on Nebraska Ontario Pro-line, which is a 1.5 point swing in Nebraskas favor over the -3 the books are offering on KSST. I'll leave the game alone on Pini, but I'll ride Nebraska on Pro-line with the +4.5. Plus I just have a gut feeling that Nebraska will show up and play hard tonight. And as pointed out KSST isn't a great road team lately.

No way Nebraska has enough fire power to keep up with this Kansas St. team.  K - State will score over 70 tonight, they have in each of the last 10.  Nebraska can not put up enough points to beat them.  They have only scored over 70 twice in last 10 and one of those was an overtime loss to Misso.

I agree, having gone to Nebraska, they tend to fade down the stretch every year.  They did play well at home early on in the year, but blew a 25-11 halftime lead in Ames saturday to lose 52-60 and allow ISU to cover easily.  They will not be able to keep up with KSU's scoring ability tonight.  I expect it close through the first 25 minutes, but would expect KSU to pull away at about the 15:00 mark of the second half.  Nebraska just doesn't have the talent to keep it close. 
 
BTW, they had a nationally televised game against KU earlier this year that they lost by 22 at home, and they got blown out last year at home by KU on national TV, I think by about 35 points.
