Boom. And there it was. In one five minute sample, all the late game collapses, the questionable calls, the shoddy decision-making, and finally, the definitive, representative loss Boiler fans have come to know like an unwelcomed family member who never skips a Thanksgiving meal.
The final score was Nebraska 83, Purdue 80.
With five minutes left in the game Dakota Mathias made one of his 5 three-pointers and put the Boilers back on top 69-67. The game would go back and forth before another Dakota three put the Boilers up 75-70 with 2:25 remaining in the game.
