Nebraska Basketball: Huskers Can't Contain Purdue Big Men, Lose 89-74

Nebraska's lack of size costs them the game against the Boilers in West Lafayette.

Senior center A.J. Hammons had a career high 32 points and dominated in Purdue's win over Nebraska. The Huskers just didn't have an answer for that size inside. If Nebraska could have hit some more 3 point shots, Huskers could have stayed in the game. This was a tough loss for Nebraska and it doesn't get any easier. Maryland comes to Lincoln on Wednesday and they're arguably the best team in the Big Ten this season. Nebraska can take some positives from this game as they move forward in Big Ten Conference play.
