Nebraska travels to West Lafayette as 8.5 dogs

[scarletred]

Boilers are 12-4 over all and 4-1 in conference play.
Huskers have never won in Mackey arena..

 

[huskerfan1414]

Loss.

 

[mwulf]

Will this be one of those 30 point blowouts from the start or the soul crushing lead for 38 minutes and lose at the end

 

[scarletred]

Loss.

What do you really think.😉

And likely won't win. It's what Fred does.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

This will be a big win for us

A lot of teams in the B1G loss in Mackey not just Fred.

 

[SickOfPractice]

Nothing to lose & everything to gain might equal a loose playing Husker team. It could happen.

 

[IM4NUalways]

A lot of teams in the B1G loss in Mackey not just Fred.

Its a road thing almost everywhere. Until it isnt.

 

[Badger Pete]

Sorry to say, but Purdue and the points. Hope I am wrong.

 

[mgbreis]

Hope we play well. It would especially be nice if Essegian could get his touch back.

 

[nudan92]

Hope we play well. It would especially be nice if Essegian could get his touch back.

He is really having a hard time getting open shots so he takes crazy threes from wherever he just happens to catch the ball. Would have liked to see Griffiths get some minutes in the Iowa game after scoring 9 points in about three minutes the last time he got on the court.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Chance to steal one on the road. Loss is no big deal so play loose and see what happens

 

[king_kong_]

Great opportunity today

Hope we play well

 

[huskerfan66]

Not a great start

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Purdue is red hot. Gonna be tough to beat today

 

[mgbreis]

Nobody touched that lurch, he blew the dunk attempt.

 

[SomedayHusker]

Purdue playing with a ton of energy. They are definitely lacking some talent I’ve seen from them in recent years but I just don’t see it for us today

 

[cubsker]

Oh boy

 

[mgbreis]

Starting to feel like our propensity for turnovers is going to the be central theme of this season.

 

[cubsker]

Nobody touched that lurch, he blew the dunk attempt.

Yep, just lost the ball on his own.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Did Williams go out drinking last night? Terrible D then misses an easy, easy layup

 

[schuele]

Agree with Bardo that NU needs to attack early in the possession. Purdue's half court defense is really good and they won't get called for more than 8 or 10 fouls the entire game.

 

[mgbreis]

No chance to win this game they way they're shooting.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Get Williams out of there. He is playing terrible

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Sorry to say, but Purdue and the points. Hope I am wrong.

Looks like a good call.

Just can’t bring myself to bet against the big red

 

[cubsker]

We really lack a guy who can drive by somebody. Williams isn't really that guy.

 

[ru4nu2win]

Purdue is Mid this year. Look at their games against good teams, each a blowout. Other then Smith and Lower, very average!! Of course we'll make them look like a top five team

 

[SomedayHusker]

Purdue has about 8 Sam Hoibergs playing today

 

[king_kong_]

Welp, on to next week

Need to pass a few of these road tests

 

[scarletred]

Crap they can’t miss.

 

[Husker4real]

This game isn’t the one that will hurt. Blowing that game at Iowa is the one that will be a drag on the rest of the season.

 

[scarletred]

Again Ulis is as worthless as tit on a boar.

 

[cubsker]

We have to get a lot tougher. Must play more physically on defense and just have to be stronger with the ball.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Welp, on to next week

Take care of business at home and beat the road teams like minny and they will be a 7-9 seed in the tourney and hopefully get their first tourney W

 

[TampaBaySkers]

They just can’t miss. One of those days

It’s not as if this game is a factor if we lose, a lot of basketball to be played to start thinking the season over.

 

[cubsker]

Our pick n roll defense is not good.

It’s not a factor. Iowa was a blown quad 1 win though.

Just lazy today. They went out drinking and looking for horz last night
