Looking to keep pace with Michigan atop the Big Ten, the seventh-ranked Nebraska (21-2, 10-2) host No. 13 Purdue (19-4, 9-3) tonight in Lincoln. With just a handful of games left in the regular season, this is a massive Top 15 showdown with major Big Ten championship implications.
The Cornhuskers, led by head coach Fred Hoiberg, are having an historic season. They opened the season with 20 straight wins but lost consecutive games early last week to Michigan and Illinois before bouncing back with a win over Rutgers this past weekend.

After struggling themselves in January, Purdue comes into this game having won their last four games – all by double digits. The most obvious reason for the recent streak has been improved shotting from the field with the Boilermakers shooting over 50% over their last ten games. The Cornhuskers play a stingy brand of defense and will look to consistently challenge Purdue’s shooters.
Purdue is a veteran club led by Braden Smith (8.9 assists per game), Trey Kaufman-Renn, and Fletcher Loyer. Nebraska is led by Pryce Sandfort who is shooting 40.6% from three-point range and averaging 17.1 points per game. Rienk Mast has shown flashes of late including a 26-point performance against Rutgers over the weekend.
Nebraska has a record of 5-2 in Q1 games and is 6-0 in Q2. Purdue is 6-4 in Q1 and 2-0 in Quad 2 games. That said, Purdue is ranked No. 10 in KenPom and No. 10 in the NET. Nebraska is ranked No. 12 in KenPom and 11th in the NET.
Lets take a closer look at tonight’s matchup and take into consideration lineups, injuries, and other factors affecting the line and total.
