Huskers upset #1 Purdue 88-72

- Start date
Honestly, what a defensive performance. We just took Edey out of the game.
YESSSS WHAT A WIN FOR HTE HUSKERS AND HOIBERG!@
Great team win and having trudged through the dark, cold, wind, and ice many times to watch games at the Bob, I'm glad everyone that showed up to PBA got to experience that!
Our boys shot 60% from three !!!
WE DID IT! WE ****ING DID IT!!! GBR!!!!
I like Providence, but their best player tore his ACL. They won’t be on the bubble very long.
I’ve said for years that 3 point shooting has been our weakness. We finally can put 3 or more guys on the floor at a time who can make 3s.
I get you don’t do it for the whole game, but when you are up 10-12 late, you prioritize the 3 pt line.
The difference from Hoiberg' first few teams? He had some selfish players that made it all about them. They recruited " me" players instead of team players. So happy for the players that have stuck with Nebraska
These are the wins that really move the needle as far as NCAA bids are concerned. Now go take down the Hawkeyes.
What a game! The crowd is acting like they won the NCAA tournament. Wild crowd. Awesome!
GO BIG RED
GO BIG RED
We’ve got a way better bench than we’ve had. Tominaga’s emergence last year was huge. Gary’ Mast and Allick have all been nice additions.
#1 Missouri in 1982. Fred has gone from worst coach in our bad history to at least catching lightning in a bottle this year with the best team in decades
A lot of players stepped up. Wilcher and Hoiberg.....Mast was the player in first half
My face when I realized Purdue was ranked #1
2 Q1 wins so far this year....and don't look now but KSU is getting close to being a quad 1 win as well.
That was the last time we beat #1. Could argue we have had some equally big wins since, like the 94 Big 8 Tournament Championship.
Seems like there are several people on here that need to eat some serious crow about Hoiberg. He's starting to get it done.....
It was cool seeing Derrick Walker celebrating with the team
I think Fred is a good college coach and we finally have enough depth. I have to believe NIL played a role in us getting some of the guys we have.
For me, Walker’s return to last year’s team was a tipping point when NU stopped playing hero ball and became a decent team. Love that guy.
Peacock commentator spreading the ugly truth about Purdue’s soft backcourt.
I enjoyed their broadcast. I’m a peacock fan
We had no business winning that game in Columbia. I went with a Mizzou buddy and other than our bench I was the only guy in red in the stands. It’s been so long ago that I can’t remember much about the game. I think Stipanovich had an off night. That Mizzou team was loaded. I played some pickup ball at the campus rec center with Jon Sunvold and Rickey Frazier. Frazier was dumber than a box of rocks but man he was an incredible athlete.
