Cam Mack had Nebraska's first-ever triple-double, and the Huskers led for the game's final 25 minutes to knock off Purdue 70-56 at Pinnacle Bank Arena on a snowy Sunday.
The victory broke a three-game losing streak. And combined with NU's effort at Indiana in a 96-90 defeat, a season that started slow suddenly appears to have some spark.
Mack finished with 11 points 10 rebounds and 12 assists, pulling a rebound away from Kevin Cross in the final minute to secure the program's first triple-double.
Dachone Burke led Nebraska (5-6, 1-1 Big Ten) with 18 points, hitting four three-pointers and pulling down seven rebounds.
