Jayhawks at Cornhuskers Prediction 12/16/17

Kansas has dropped two in a row, so I expect them to come out with a top performance tonight. Defense has been the issue in the two games allowing 95 to Arizona State and 74 to Washington and that will surely be their focus when they take the court against the Cornhuskers. Nebraska’s offense has been limited by on paper inferior opponents and I believe the two points combined should keep this game under the posted line.
