Nebraska WBB vs Purdue Preview

Coming off a tough loss, can the Huskers regroup against a talented Purdue team?

Winning this game on the road will be a tall order for a Husker team that, while talented, is still working to establish roles and their core identity. This is a very young Nebraska team with six of the nine players expected to play significant minutes being true freshmen or sophomores. Junior Grace Mitchell is the 10th active player, but has been limited by a foot injury.

The Huskers have a tough stretch of games left to close out Big Ten play. They will have to play their best basketball of the season to have a realistic shot at postseason play. While we haven’t seen a clear identity emerge yet, things change on a dime with a young team. If the Huskers can use their emerging defense to create transition opportunities and steal a few cheap points, they certainly have the ability to grab a “W” in West Lafayette.
