Nebraska seeks elusive win at No. 20 Purdue

A lot has happened in college basketball since the 1956-57 season, but one thing that hasn't occurred since then is Nebraska winning a game at Purdue.

The Cornhuskers will get another crack at ending that lengthy drought when they face the No. 20 Boilermakers on Sunday afternoon in West Lafayette, Ind., in a Big Ten contest.

Nebraska (12-3, 2-2) was on a six-game winning streak before dropping an overtime decision at Iowa on Tuesday.

The biggest key to Nebraska's success this season has been on the defensive end. The Cornhuskers are allowing an average of just 66.
