The Skinny

 

This will be brief so read through the scouting thread.
Kendall Stephens is out. Caleb Swanigan might also be out but it's a game time decision. Even though Purdue might be down a couple of key players, we're still talking about a top 25 team playing at home.

 

The Huskers need to force turnovers and not put Purdue on the line in addition to having a decent shooting night. The Boilermakers run the boards on both ends of the court so simply being respectable rebounding the ball would be helpful.

 

Prediction: Purdue 76 - Nebraska 67

I got a funny feeling about this game. Not funny enough to change my prediction to a husker win, but funny none the less. With a week to prepare for this game I think Coach Miles will suprise us with something
