It'll be interesting to see how many fans come to the 'Bob' for tonight's game (and how many HM's log-in for the game thread). GBR!

NU plays the bottom of the Big 10 over the next 4 games. Purdue, @ PSU, Ill and NW.

Illinois is still ranked but looks like they may be falling back to earth after their big start. NW

PSU is awful.

NW has tanked since losing crawford.

Purdue doesn't really belong in that "bottom of the big 10" that I mentioned. They were bad to start the season but have risen to mediocre in Big 10 play. Decent chance for a win but NU will have to play well. That means they can't afford another 11-25 shooting performance out of the two guys who take most of the shots. Haven't heard anything about Ubel.

[HuskerInOkieland]

Radio again for me.

Hopefully these guys come out and get themselves a nice "W" tonight.

BTN shows NU-Purdue game is on BTN and BTN2Go

I think it has been said that every game left on the schedule will be televised from here on out. Either BTN or network. Tonight is BTN.

[HuskerInOkieland]

After playing highly rated teams, it is important that NU not let up in intensity tonight!

[HuskerInOkieland]

Ubel out again tonight.

[HuskerInOkieland]

Almeida, Gallegos, Shields, Talley, Rivers to start.

[HuskerInOkieland]

Purdue airballs on their first possession but nail a trey on their second.

3-0

[HuskerInOkieland]

Almeida with his first Big Ten points of the year.

3-2 Purdue

Gallegos hits a jumper.

4-3 NU

[HuskerInOkieland]

Purdue with a dunk.

5-4

Almeida another bucket!

6-5 NU

[HuskerInOkieland]

Purdue scores and foul on Gallegos

7-6 Purdue

FT good. 8-6

[HuskerInOkieland]

I think Miles has lit another fire under Almeida

[HuskerInOkieland]

Shields the putback.

8-8

[HuskerInOkieland]

Purdue lays it in.

10-8 Purdue
