This was an ugly game for Nebraska for three quarters and change, but a fourth quarter spurt propelled the Huskers to victory. The loss likely ends Purdue’s season with a 13-18 record. Nebraska improves to 20-11 with an NCAA tournament bid firmly in sight, with only a matter of seeding to be decided.
Next up, the Huskers will face #4 Michigan State who will be looking to avenge an early season loss. The Spartans will be well-rested, having earned one of the coveted double bye slots in the tournament.
