#7th ranked Hoiskers entertain #13 ranked Purdue as 1.5 point favorites

[Redscarlet]

Purdue brings their 19-4 record into the vault and 9-3 in conference play.
Boilers are 3-3 their last 6 conference games and have a two game winning streak.

This game could give Nebraska comfortable top 2 or 3 seed in the B1G tournament .

O/U is 147.5

Important for Lawrence and Sam to stay out of early foul trouble. That won't be easy, because Purdue's professional stunt men will be sprawled out on the floor before the end of the National Anthem.

Matt Painter is already working the refs.

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

This will be a huge win and step forward towards that bye

Yes Sam will need to not be too over aggressive because Braden Smith is technician at flopping.

Kind of surprised the spread isn’t more but it might be later.

They're all important games, but this one feels like it represents a fork in the road for Nebraska. Especially with KU's win last night it seems like the bracketologists are ready to move Nebraska down a tier. The W at Indiana was 1/10, it's been a month since the Huskers had a "wow" win.

Flopper Loyer is still the team leader, though. He reminds me of Dick Van Dyke taking a head-first dive over the ottoman at the beginning of every show.

 

[mgbreeze]

Do we know who the refs are?

 

[SuperBigFan69]

My god, these refs, am I right?

 

[big red23]

My god, these refs, am I right?

Soon enough

 

[Husker4Real1]

Money line moved. Purdue was +125 last night; now -110. NU is also -110 on the Money Line (not sure what they opened at)

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Do we know who the refs are?

All you need to know is that they will be B1G refs. They will act like B1G refs - until they can't.

 

[Killersker47]

Better f-ing win this game to cement the year.

 

[huskernation77]

I just bet on Purdue Moneyline so expect the husker win.

Ohh boy you really stuck your neck out on this one.

 

[BetterRed1]

Hate these damn early games. Rather it be at 8. But win this game and we’re looking great down the stretch.

 

[Steely Dannebrog]

Yikes.

 

[BetterRed1]

Smoking the **** out of us early. They’re getting open too easily.

 

[HuskAir]

Where’s the technical on the leprechaun flashing the finger pistols?

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

Did they know there’s a basketball game tonight?

 

[Redscarlet]

Good test for them getting down big early.

 

[Steely Dannebrog]

I hate that ******* wookie

 

[cubsker15]

If you could slap Loyer, how many times would you? 20? 25?

 

[HuskAir]

My 5 year old would successfully pump fake these guys.

You would only get within three feet of him before he collapsed to the ground and acted like you hit him with a sledge hammer.

 

[cubsker15]

Yes, all season long.

 

[BetterRed1]

Purdue is making it look easy to score.

 

[Poster FKA schuele]

My God these guys can put the ball in grocery bag and walk around the block, and no whistle.

 

[Steely Dannebrog]

Berke and Garcia shooting 3's AINT it

 

[cubsker15]

Awful shot selection

 

[BetterRed1]

We have no answer for Cluff. He’s too big.

 

[BetterRed1]

Berke needs to stop shooting 3s. He can’t make them.

 

[Poster FKA schuele]

We have the wrong guys shooting the long ball - over and over again. Those are just wasted possessions.

 

[cubsker15]

berke won't shoot layups but will shoot 3s.

 

[Steely Dannebrog]

That could be the game. There was a burgeoning comeback completely snuffed out by the brickmeister generals

 

[Poster FKA schuele]

Berke needs to stop shooting 3s. He can’t make them.

Both he had Garcia had clear lanes to the hoop and jacked threes instead. That has to stop.

 

[Redscarlet]

What the hell is Garcia firing 3’s Were getting out tails handed to us.

 

[HuskAir]

Is there a reason Berke STARTS?

 

[cubsker15]

Finally someone drove the ball strongly

 

[Poster FKA schuele]

Nobody is playing well but Sandfort looks completely rattled - like he’s seeing ghosts out there.
