Big Ten college hoops sees the Nebraska Cornhuskers taking on the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday, January 14th.
The tip-off is set for 6:30 ET from Mackey Arena.
The Boilermakers started off as a 22 point favorite and that number is now down to 20. The total has gone from 160 to 156.
Nebraska Cornhuskers
Things have not played out all that well for Nebraska this season and I really do not see that changing. It is hard to find all that much positivity associated with this squad.
The Cornhuskers last played on Tuesday, where they lost to the Illinois Fighting Illini by a score of 81-71. Things will only be harder for them on Friday when they face off with another conference foe.
This is a team that has faced off with a lot of solid competition, but the results have just not been there for them. It is one thing to play good teams and it is another to go out there and beat them.
Their last game was very close after the first half, but it got away from them in the second. The Fighting Illini outscored them by a 50-37 margin, which sealed the victory for them. If you are the Huskers, those sorts of things cannot happen when you square off with the Boilermakers.
Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue has played quite well so far this season. With that said, I do not feel they are as dominant as some may think, but they are still certainly one of the better teams in the nation.
The Boilermakers currently have a record of 13-2. The Wisconsin loss may not be as frustrating, but the one to Rutgers has to still bother them. I get the Scarlet Knights are a decent team, but a team like Purdue really should not be dropping those types of games. With that said, I do not feel this is a team that gets discouraged by one defeat, as they just seem to move on and focus on the next opponent.
The Boilermakers beat the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday by a score of 74-67. It was a very close game throughout, but the away team just executed quite well down the stretch and got themselves a victory.
Trevion Williams led his team in scoring in their last game with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Jaden Ivey also chipped in 12 points in the game. It was certainly an off day for Zach Edey, who only had 6 points, but I would expect him to be much sharper against Nebraska.

Free Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Purdue Boilermakers NCAAB Summary:
Even though they have been winning a lot, it does not seem to me that Purdue is playing their best basketball. Friday is a great opportunity for them to get back on track.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Purdue ATS
In their last game, the Boilermakers snuck out of there with a win over Penn State, but it was not a convincing win for them over a team they are better than. I would expect this crew to play much more of a complete game at home against the Huskers.
This game is going to be a very tall task for the Cornhuskers and I do not feel they will be up for it. As the game gets going, I just do not think they have the players to keep up with the Boilermakers.
20 is definitely a high number to lay in a conference game like this, but I like the home team here. Once they get going, I do not feel that Nebraska will have any answers for their explosive offense.
I like the Purdue at -20 here. .
