Purdue at Nebraska

Purdue had its big showdown test the last game, a home date with No. 13 Michigan State to try and end a 2-5 skid. They flopped, losing 94-79. Purdue is now 2-6 ATS their last eight games, struggling at both ends of the court. They are no bounce back team, with the Boilermakers 0-3-1 ATS after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game. Purdue is second to last in the Big 10 in scoring defense, ninth in field goal shooting and field goal defense, plus dead last in free throws (65%). Stick a fork in 'em, especially on the road. Nebraska, on the other hand, is showing plenty of life, winning seven of their last nine. This defense is third in the Big 10 in points allowed (65.3 points per game) and on a 10-1 ATS run. The Cornhuskers are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 home games, 18-7-1 ATS versus the Big Ten, so grab the motivated home court. Play Nebraska.
