hhcmatt Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Currently on a 4 game losing streak as their offense has hit the skids. Hosting Purdue tonight. The most obvious thing that sticks out is Wake Forest grad transfer Keyshawn Woods struggling in conference. Defensively they've been putting guys on the line a lot in conference but that's somewhat hard to gauge as they've been facing the teams that get to the line a lot. 6'8" 205# soph Kyle Young is out for Purdue with a stress fracture in his leg and unknown for our game. He's been playing 20-25 very valuable minutes for the Buckeyes and has started a lot of their games. They're not much deeper than us without him. Quote
huskerbaseball13 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 We will be about an 8 point favorite I would guess so really no excuse to lose this game at home. Should be a good matchup for us as Ohio St does not shoot the ball all that well. My concern would be Wesson hammering us down low and on the glass. Quote

Cazzie22 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 We need to handle their big guy Wesson and play with some passion and desperation. Quote

PimpMario Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 This is a must win. Who knows how fall OSU will fall this year. We need to get some momentum going. Quote

We need them to beat Purdue tonight kyle is a pretty good player if you watch any Ohio st games. Doesn’t show up in the box scores but he does a lot of the little things. Quote

hskr4life Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Seems like a pivotal game for both teams. 12-6 and 2-5 vs 13-6 and 3-5. Quote

I am looking at it from the standpoint that our computer stuff will benefit by the Purdue win since we play them twice and Ohio St. one time. Quote

That scares the crap out of me mostly because I am used to Nebraska being a slump buster. So from that angle, I would have preferred they snapped the skid before us. Hopefully they are beaten down enough emotionally we kick their butt, but... Quote

If so, it is best Purdue won, but this is a concern for me as well. Quote
