They’re calling it the biggest win in Nebraska basketball history. While that might seem hyperbolic or a little melodramatic, for a program that has failed to ever win a single NCAA Tournament game, a January win over a top ten opponent with the pedigree of Michigan State clearly means a lot to the Nebraska basketball program, fans, and their head …

The 8th-ranked Houston Cougars open conference play rolling, looking for a seventh straight win overall as they visit the Cincinnati Bearcats. Cincy hasn’t strung together back-to-back wins over its last nine games, part of the reason they’re 7-point home ‘dogs in the college basketball odds. With little juice on the Cougs winning outright, my Houston vs Cincinnati prediction and free college basketball …
