Purdue put on an absolute clinic on their way to a 92-65 rout of Nebraska Friday evening.
This was the type of performance that was much needed for Purdue and should be the expectation against a team of Nebraska’s level. Tonight was the best overall performance since before Christmas, which was a blowout win over Butler in the Crossroads Classic.
Purdue can score with the best in the country as they proved throughout the non-conference, but the strides they made on defense tonight were the story of the game. The Boilers were flying all over the place, had great on-ball pressure, and made Nebraska’s shooters uncomfortable all night long.
