Despite a valiant comeback effort, the Husker men’s basketball team dropped to 0-5 in Big Ten play with a 65-56 loss to Purdue at the Devaney Center. The Huskers fell behind by 20 points early in the second half but clawed their way back, getting as close as five points at 51-46. But every time the Huskers made a run, the Boilermakers had an answer. Shavon Shields led the way for the Big Red with a career high 18 points. Walk-on Jordan Tyrance had his best game ever in a Husker uniform as well, scoring 10 points off the bench. The Huskers set a new program record by only committing two turnovers in the game, but shot just 33 percent and were just 3-for-10 from three-point range. The Huskers are now 9-9 on the season. They’re back in action Saturday night at Penn State.
