Good road win. Had to be emotional. Ladies stepped up on the road!

We simply had our asses kicked. Hard to stomach!

Nebraska has a lot more problems than the refs. Mainly turnovers, not getting good shots, and playing soft d.

Medically might just be to the point she just can't risk anymore injury, beyond this point

Nebraska turnover, Purdue 3

As someone said in the game thread, we likely wouldn’t have beaten Purdue regardless with the way they shot the ball. However, the entire program should be embarrassed by the lack of effort on both ends of the floor.

I'm not sure any team in the country could've won that game today with as well as PU played and as motivated as they were. That said, a veteran team has to have more pride than that. Hope we show it Thursday vs RU.

We need a road win. Can't lose to a bottom feeder like last year when they bet us in Lincoln by one point.

This my favorite Joe Cocker song.

What a shit show that was. Now I'm going to watch the second shit show of the day when the women play at Rutgers.

And already has her degree.

Nah....just 5 uncalled fouls

Sounds like my schedule conflicts worked out for me today

If we look at our games away from home St Mary's 15 turnovers close loss Creighton 7 turnovers double digit win Michigan State 11 turnovers blowout loss. MSU made 12 3's to our 4 Murray State 15 turnovers double digit win Hawaii 12 turnovers double digit win Oregon State 12 turnovers double digit win Iowa 14 turnovers overtime loss. Iowa makes 17 3's to our 9 Purdue 17 turnovers blowout loss. Purdue makes 19 3's to our 6

Historical ass-whooping

Here’s highlights if you missed it.

We couldn't shoot, couldn't defend, couldn't take care of the ball, couldn't force turnovers, couldn't rebound. The one thing we did is make free throws. This was not Iowa beating us twice. This was the fact that we weren't ready to deal with Purdue's pressure. We should have been.

We better dig deep. This league is unforgiving and we’ll quickly play ourselves out of dancing.

We’ve gotten our shit handed to us by two of the conferences power houses. Outside of that we’ve lost an overtime game against a good not great team at home and a two point loss to a team that looks better every week at a neutral site. I’d say we’re doing okay. Nobody would have beaten Purdue today with the shots that are falling for them. Any defense will look bad when an offense can go 4/4 on 15 foot contested push shots.

F metrics. Play Sam, Connor, GG, Cale, and Grace the rest of the game. Send a message.

They are making everything wide open shots (which there have been far too many), contested shots, and acrobatic shots.

But they don't shut the other team down.

Hate to overstate it, but Rutgers on Thursday just became a much more important win. Need to get our Ju Ju back. Throw this game away.

Bench the starters...sad

Because I’m feeling bitter, here is the look Braden smith is serving

How many shitty push shots can they make?

The physicality is one thing, them making straight trash shots is compounding it.

kind of hard to dribble when you are getting hugged.

Yes. Until the NCAA tournament when it's an actual foul to grab and hack.

Nebraska Cornhuskers (12-3) at Purdue (12-4) Date: Sunday Jan. 12th, 2025 Time: 11:00 am CST Arena: Mackey Arena Broadcast: BTN Purdue Info Head Coach: Matt Painter (20th season) Location: West Lafayette, IN Conference: B1G Nickname: Boilermakers Mascot: Boilermaker Special, Purdue Pete Line: Purdue by 8.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 9 KenPom rank: 16 Nota bene: Nebraska has never won at Mackey arena. The one road win Nebraska has over Purdue was in 1956 when Jerry Bush's Nebraska team won 65-62 7'4" freshman center Daniel Jacobsen is out for the season. With 7'2" sophomore center Will Berg barely playing, this is Purdue's smallest team in over a decade Purdue relies on its big 3 of Braden Smith, Trey Kaufman-Renn, and Fletcher Loyer for scoring. No other active Boilermaker is scoring more than 6 points per game. Purdue's non-con schedule rank is 14th in KenPom Elkhorn North product Jack Lusk is a walk-on transfer for the Boilermakers after starting his college career at D-III Millikin University Player to watch: Braden Smith The Preseason B1G POTY has been living up to they hype, leading the B1G in assists while ranking 2nd in steals and minutes played. Smith is currently shooting 42.2% from 3. Player to watch: Trey Kaufman-Renn Purdue's leading scorer and rebounder is a smaller starting center than Purdue traditionally plays but has been dominant offensively, scoring in double digits in every game played this season. TKR is a threat to get to the FT line where he shoots just 57.4%. Player to watch: Fletcher Loyer Loyer is still making 3s for Purdue, hitting on 45.5% of them this season. Loyer actually has more takes from 2 this season and is a 3 level scorer.

Purdue still works their inside-out offense with Boliermaker post players kicking out to perimeter shooters as needed. The Huskers will need plenty of juice to scramble in this game and one has to question how much they'll have in what could be a sleepy Sunday crowd. One way that Nebraska can keep up with Purdue is on the offensive boards. Between Purdue's relative lack of size and methodical pace, opportunities for second chance points should be available. It seems that that a path to victory against Purdue is to make the role players beat you and it seems inevitable that the Huskers will throw double teams against Trey Kaufman-Renn all day long. Trying to take away both Smith and Loyer seems problematic given Purdue's patience. Mackey Arena has been a house of horrors for the Huskers since joining the conference. The closest Nebraska has been to beating Purdue there was back in 2014 when the Boilers finished under .500. However, this is arguably the best conference team Nebraska has brought to Purdue. Is it enough? Prediction: Purdue 84 - Nebraska 68 View full article

Mick Cronin decided to beat traffic last night at Maryland

Bugs said "JP didn't foul out though" Major 'OOPS" on me. I read the box score and for JP's line i read the 5 FDs for 5 PFs . My bad. Apologies to all i might have confused.

According to the stats I just saw, no technical is shown, so no, it doesn't make make since Prince shot the free throws. It looked like they called the technical, because Prince did the shooting. The refs sucked....shows they were in lala land the whole game.

Allison will go through a myriad of emotions and then have conversations with many people (doctors, specialists, family, friends, teammates, psychologists, and so forth). She will make decisions, question those decisions and change her decision; perhaps multiple times. Personally, I think she will fight to come back unless the injury is so bad, it simply cannot happen. But ultimately it will be Allison who makes the final decision. I will NEVER leverage hindsight with a decision that was made about recovery. Yet I do wonder why a decision to go without a sleeve or brace on one or both of her knees was made. Perhaps neither would help. I don't know, it simply is heart breaking.

Plus she has her degree.

We're damn lucky to pull this 1 out.

Prince may save us from ourselves and Petrie has made some plays. Can we get some stops!

Morality really really sucks!

How fast things have changed. After the UCLA game, we all were talking about being worthy of being ranked, making sure we didn’t let Loesner go anywhere because he was our defensive mastermind. A few guys need to take a long look in the mirror. Ok, a lot of guys. I get it, it sucks to be blown out but have some pride. We showed no fight. Purdue made Nebraska look like what we did to Southern.

Geez, I hope the women show up. My already upset stomach cannot handle another horrible effort after watching the men.

They’re just toying with us. Have some damn pride. Good lord.

10 minutes played for Hoiberg that half was not enough.

All true, but Brice is disinterested in playing defense today so he doesn't have a lot of room to pout.

Left shoulder

Who took the dawg out of Juwan?? He seemed way off vs Iowa and it’s carried into today’s game. Rollie, Gary, Uhlis, all seniors and all look disinterested. Hate to sound negative, but they have to come out better than today.

F'ing ridiculous. We are playing like wimps. I thought we would be a physical team. Man, the refs are letting body to body contact and instead, we are playing five feet off of them. The team is simply not ready to play. No heart right now.

Kent and Jake are in the crows nest. Nebraska need to start doing this to teams that do it to us.

Purdue game thread… https://purdue.forums.rivals.com/threads/nebraska-at-purdue-master-discussion-thread.251636/

When Amy coaches her last game at Nebraska, I think that will rank as her worst loss. I remember how the game started. Rutgers was so bad that when we scored right at the start, their inbounder grabbed the ball under the basket and their other four players ran down the court. They got a five second count on an uncontested inbound under their own basket. We had a chance to bail ourselves out at the end last year too. Amy designed the perfect final play. They inbounded to Alexis with an uncontested shot two feet from the basket and she missed. Losses just don’t get any worse than that.

6 of our last 8 have been under - it'd be 7 of 8 if the Iowa game didn't go into OT
