The Skinny:
For the first time, I'll be doing a write-up where Nebraska is the favorite to win a NCAA tourney game. The last time Nebraska was in the NCAA tourney was 10 years ago as an underdog to Baylor. The last time the Huskers were favored in a tourney game was 30 years ago as a 6 seed. Nebraska will have their chance to make history on Friday and hopefully it's a first step towards sustained success.

Standing between Nebraska and destiny is an up and down Texas A&M team. The Aggies have wins over teams like Iowa St and Tennessee and loses to Vanderbilt and Arkansas. While Fred Hoiberg has a Sweet 16 run on his resume, TAMU coach Buzz Williams has an Elite 8 run at Marquette back in the day on his. Any outcome is on the table for this game which is why most have this as a coin-flip type game.

As cliche as it sounds, it really might boil down to how much Nebraska can persist and one has to be optimistic given how the Husker have looked coming off of 5+ days of rest.

Prediction: Nebraska 84 - Texas A&M 74
