Minnesota heads to Lincoln, NE for a match up with Nebraska. The Golden Gophers allow opponents to shoot 35.9% from beyond the arc this year. That’s 293rd in the nation. Let’s ride Cornhuskers guard Brice Williams to go higher than 1.5 3-pointers made.

Minnesota struggles to defend the perimeter, and Williams has the trend and the spot in his favor. This is one of the safest plays on the board today, and it needs to be a part of your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for March 1st.
Jackson Shelstad Higher Than 14.5 Points 4a3y42
USC heads to Eugene, OR for a game against the Oregon Ducks. The Trojans allow opponents to average 74.8 points per game. That’s 235th in the nation. Let’s jump on Oregon guard Jackson Shelstad to go higher than 14.5 points.
Shelstad faced the Trojans once this year in Los Angeles. He went off for 24 points. Shelstad averages 12.8 points per game at home, but he’s gone higher than 14.5 points in five of his last seven games played. He’s also gone higher than 14.5 points in five of his last six conference home games.
Shelstad can drive the lane and draw . He can make free throws. Shelstad can also hit from long distance. He has a lot of different paths to get over 14.5 points and he should have no problem scoring against a USC defense that he’s already roasted once. Let’s run it back with Shelstad to beat his points projection in our Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
