Following two straight road games against ranked opposition, the Husker men’s basketball team returns home tonight to host unranked Purdue. The Huskers have lost their first four Big Ten conference games, including losses last week at second-ranked Michigan and twenty-second-ranked Michigan State. They remain without the services of Brandon Ubel, who is still out with an ankle injury, but they produced their best offensive output of the conference season in their loss to the Spartans thanks to David Rivers, who replaced Ubel in the starting lineup and scored a career-high 18 points. Purdue is just 8-8 overall but have two wins in four Big Ten games, including a win against twenty-third ranked Illinois. Tipoff at the Devaney Center is set for 8 PM. The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
