Nebraska (4-6) is home for the first time since Nov. 22, as the Huskers wrapped up a six-game road trip with a heartbreaking 96-90 overtime loss at Indiana Friday evening. Dachon Burke's season-high 25 points paced four Huskers in double figures, as Nebraska overcame an eight-point deficit in the final four minutes, capped by Burke's game-tying 3-pointer with 1.0 second left in regulation. Haanif Cheatham added 21 points, while Cam Mack finished with 15 points and 10 assists in a losing effort.

SCOUTING PURDUE
After a slow start, Purdue has gotten on a roll and has won five of its last six contests since a 1-2 start. The Boilermakers replaced a trio of starters from last year's Big Ten co-champion team, including All-Big Ten performer Carsen Edwards. Purdue went 26-10 and reached the Elite Eight before falling to eventual champion Virginia in an epic clash.

Since a 10-point loss at Marquette in the Gavitt Games, Purdue has been stout defensively, holding its opponents to under 65 points in each of the last seven contests. The streak included a 29-point win over the Cavaliers and a 14-point win in its Big Ten opener on Dec. 8. On the year, Purdue is holding teams to 54.8 points per game, including 38 percent shooting while limiting teams to 26 percent beyond the arc. Today's game in Lincoln is Purdue's first road game since Nov. 13.

The Boilermakers, who use a nine-man rotation are anchored by junior center Matt Haarms, as the 7-foot-3 center averages 11.7 points on 63 percent shooting, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots per game. Jahaad Proctor, a senior grad transfer who played at High Point for two seasons, leads Purdue in scoring at 14.2 ppg, while sophomore Eric Hunter Jr. chips in 10 points a contest. Over the last two games, Trevion Williams (7.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg) and Sasha Stefanovic (9.3 ppg) have moved into the lineup, as Stefanovic leads Purdue with 10 3-pointers.

The 'Skinny' (from another site :Redface:)

The Skinny:
This is a bit of a rebuilding year for a Purdue team that lost 3 starters from its Elite 8 team. Matt Painter has slowed down the offense as this team has shifted its focus towards defense. The guards are aggressive up front with their all of their rim protection behind them. Expect Purdue to be much more disciplined and more talented defensively than the Indiana team they faced on Friday. Expect the same on offense as the Boilermakers patiently try and work the ball inside. Purdue's back court doesn't draw a lot of contact but their front court does. It could get dicey if Ouedraogo and Cross find themselves in early foul trouble.

This big and patient Purdue team looks like an elite version of an UC Riverside squad that came in and dominated the pace. Can Nebraska speed up the Purdue? How much do they have in the tank after a 45 minute slugfest with Indiana?

Prediction: Purdue 76 - Nebraska 64

Players to watch: Jahaad Proctor
The High Point graduate transfer is leading the Boilermakers in scoring. He hasn't been shooting at high percentage but can get his own shot.

Players to watch: Sasha Stefanovic
The sophomore guard is one of the best 3pt shooters in the conference for a Purdue team that lost a lot of firepower from last year's Elite 8 team
