Purdue was able to defeat the Cornhuskers behind Fletcher Loyer’s scoring 27 points along with Zach Edey’s double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. Walker and Tominaga were again problems for Purdue’s defense scoring 19 and 16 respectively but missing Juwan Gary and Sam Griesel was just too much for Nebraska to overcome.
Let’s take a look back at the important matchups in our ‘Matchup Rewind.’
1 | Zach Edey vs. Nebraska’s Low Side Double Team
As opposed to what we saw in the first matchup in Lincoln, Edey did a great job of reading the defense and passing out of double teams to find open shooters.
