Huskers hope to feed off home crowd in showdown with No. 4 Purdue

Fred Hoiberg talked Tuesday afternoon about his team putting games behind them. At the time, Nebraska was coming off an emotional win over then-No. 7 Creighton.

He wanted his team to focus on Wednesday's game vs. Indiana, which the Hoosiers ultimately won 81-65.

Now Hoiberg’s team finds itself on the opposite end of the equation — looking to put a game in the rearview mirror for a different reason.

“We’ll bounce back, get a game plan in, have two good days of prep and be ready on Saturday afternoon,” Hoiberg said after Wednesday's loss.

Make no mistake, Saturday will be quite the test.
