No. 7 Nebraska digs out of 22-point deficit but falls to No. 13 Purdue in overtime
No. 7 Nebraska digs out of 22-point deficit but falls to No. 13 Purdue in overtime
NU trailed by 22 points in the second half and 14 with 2:45 remaining in regulation. The Huskers nearly survived more than a half of passive, lifeless play against Purdue.

Colorado State won tonight. San Jose State is currently playing UNLV on FS1.

I’ll bump this once for the sicko crowd.

Something about Nebraska going to a 1-3-1 zone in crunch time warms up what’s left of my cold, dark heart.

Just when I thought I’d seen it all, man.

This team.

Moral of the story? Make your free throws.

The extra passes from Purdue on a lot of these 3s have been surgical.
February 11, 2026 at 1:50 AM
Nebraska possessions ending with Garcia and Berke taking 3s has to have Painter licking his chops.

There’s blood in the water.

Had to expect Purdue to come out motivated for this Big Ten Rivalry Series presented by Venmo matchup.

Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;

Competing with good teams is now the expectation for Nebraska. Records say the Huskers have risen to Purdue's level over the past year, but Tuesday is a chance to prove it. omaha.com/sports/huske...
High stakes, tough task: No. 13 Purdue's battle-tested roster set to test No. 7 Nebraska
Nebraska will face Purdue's core of Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn for the last time in the regular season. Their seasoned, veteran group will test the Huskers' resolve.

Kansas has continued to get better as the year has gone on. That’s a testament to coaching.

Jayhawks are trending in the right direction, at the right time.

Can’t decide what’s the funniest part of the Bill Moos book. In consideration, we have:

The fact that it’s almost 700 pages long.

The hilariously bad writing.

The absurdity of some of these antecdotes.

My vote might still have to be the combo of the title and the cover.

Random as hell, and I guess it’s worth noting, tomorrow night’s game between No. 7 Nebraska and No. 13 Purdue is a part of the Big Ten Rivalry Series presented by Venmo. Per a Big Ten release from a few weeks back.

Nebraska-Purdue, noted historical Big Ten basketball rivalry.

The list of new additions to Mountain West football for next season will now include North Dakota State, Northern Illinois, UC Davis, and UTEP.

Certainly will be one of the conferences of all-time.
