Purdue buried Nebraska 89-74 in their earlier meeting shooting 58.9 percent with A.J. Hammons scoring 32 points. The Boilermakers probably won't shoot that well again especially in a slight letdown situation after their big win over Maryland on Saturday, but they still will get the win. Hammons was held to 19 points against the Terrapins but still was his team's leading scorer while Dakota Mathias added 17 points. The Cornhuskers lost at Penn State 56-55 on Thursday shooting only 40.4 percent for their third loss in a row and seventh defeat in their last nine games. The Boliermakers hold a big defensive edge as they allow only 38.9 percent from the floor compared to an opponent field goal percentage of .433 for the Huskers. Play Purdue on the moneyline.
