hhcmatt Posted December 10, 2022 Report Posted December 10, 2022 Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-4) vs #4 Purdue Boilermakers (9-0) Date: Saturday Dec 10th, 2022 Time: 1:15 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN Purdue Info Head Coach: Matt Painter Location: West Lafayette, INConference: B1GNickname: Boilermakers Mascot: Boilermaker Special, Purdue Pete Rotation Depth: 9 Last Game: Beat Hofstra KenPom: 5Line: Purdue by 9.5 Shirt not to wear: Recently won blackshirt, bumblebee shirt A couple of Famous Alumni: Glenn Robinson, Robbie Hummel Other: Purdue at #4 is the 3rd men's top 5 team to visit the PBA Matt Rhule will be introduced at halftime KenPom Analysis: Purdue is a methodical offensive team which means that Nebraska can hunt for offensive rebounds without as much fear of being hurt in transition. Purdue isn't a team likely to exploit Nebraska's turnover issues. Player to watch: Fletcher Loyer Foster Loyer's little brother has been a day 1 starter for the Boilermakers and is leading the team in 3pt attempts while hitting 37% of them. Player to watch: F Caleb Furst Typically Painter has two giant posts who split time. This season he has a guy like 6'10" Furst who can play alongside Edey at the 4 or operating as a center given his ability to shoot from outside. Player to watch: C Zach Edey Edey is in the running for national player of the year as he has been racking up double-doubles in the first halves of games. He's also constantly a threat to foul out your starting and backup centers.

UNL Game Notes Probable starters for Nebraska 5 Sam Griesel G 6-7 25 Emmanuel Bandoumel G 6-4 0 C.J.

That is one negative for this year's Nebraska team as they're unlikely to run Edey off the floor. However, this Husker team and their ability to grab offensive rebounds and defend without fouling sets them up to have a good chance at pulling the massive upset today. Do they have enough juice to double Edey while trying to defend Purdue's outside shooters? We can hope and cheer. Prediction: Purdue 67 - Nebraska 62 View full article Shawn Eichorst's Toupee 1 Quote
