Purdue knocked off Nebraska 65 to 62 in Lincoln, improving their record to 10-0 and 2-0 in the Big 10.
1st Half Summary
Early on in the first half, both teams struggled from the field, but in very different ways: Purdue was creating open shots that were not taken advantage of while Nebraska was missing well-contested shots by lengthy Boilermakers playing tight defense. Purdue’s wingers as a unit were closing out even the slightest of open shots and staying alert as the Huskers attempted some Boileresque ball movement.
Eventually the shots started falling for the Boilermakers as they sustained creating shots for their teammates as, surprise surprise, Zach Edey was drawing double teams.
