College Basketball Bold Predictions – 01/09/26

Indiana gives Nebraska their first loss in over 9 months

Indiana's Lamar Wilkerson (3) and Tayton Conerway (6) share a laugh after Wilkerson checked out for the final time during the Indiana versus Penn State men's basketball game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2025. | Source: Lastwordonsports.com - Doug Henderson

Thanks to their run in the College Basketball Crown last season and an unbeaten start to this one, it’s been quite a while since Nebraska has lost a college basketball game. I think that run ends in the Assembly Hall on Saturday. Indiana will have the two best players on the court in Lamar Wilkerson and Tayton Conerway, and I expect Wilkerson to score 25+ points in this one, as I have concerns about Nebraska’s ability to defend guards.
