That's odd since KenPom has Texas Tech 20th & Nebraska 23rd.  On a neutral site the higher ranked team should win unless he's saying that it's not really neutral.

Forgive my ignorance, but would recent results or injuries play into KenPom results? Just asking because that does sound odd.

Big game with statistically two of the best defenses in all of College basketball. 

Texas Tech is 4-0 but win over USC was their only test.

Funny thing is they have played a similar schedule to us. 

We both played Mississippi Valley State. 

Nebraska won 106-37/ Texas Tech won 84-52

We both played SE Lousiana

Nebraska won 87-35/ Texas Tech won 59-40

There 3 top scorers:

Jarrett Culver- 16.8 PPG

Davide Moretti- 12.8

Matt Mooney(Transfer from SD)- 11.00 PPG

Most sites I have seen have this as a 50/50.

 
This will be the most interesting game yet in this young season.  The Seton Hall game gave us a little glimpse as to how good this team is.  This is just the next step in opening up that window to knowing.  

I think we'll win by double digits and we end up going into Clemson 6-0 and similarly ranked.

We likely won't win if Palmer continues to slump.

Not too concerned about Palmer. His shot will come back.

With all the weapons we have, his ability to drive the hoop still allows others to make plays. Watson has shot much better and Copeland has as well.

The one positive is when one guy struggles, we have plenty of other options to step up. 

We could legitimately have about 4 guys lead us in scoring night in and night out(Palmer, Watson, Copeland, Roby)... Could even toss Nana in there but probably more in blow out games.

Depends on if TT shoots 1 of 10 (3s) like the first half... OR 16 of 19 fg like the 2nd half.

I think TTU will be playing much stronger defense compared to the last few opponents

Thats not saying a lot. Seton Hall has been our toughest test and obviously we are getting a different caliber with TT but I have seen enough that I think we can out score them. We are better offensively.
