Purdue (12-6, 3-5) is due for some soul searching after dropping another Big Ten loss at home against Nebraska (12-7, 4-4). This felt like a must win to try and secure a bid for the tournament with a daunting schedule ahead. Purdue has now lost 4 of their last 6 games and have a 3-5 record in the conference. After a solid start to the season 10-2, Purdue now sits at 12-6 overall.
It was all Abbey Ellis in the beginning who knocked down 10 of her 20 points in the first quarter. Purdue came out shooting well and jumped to a 4-0 run before Nebraska hit a 3 to get on scoreboard.
