We have a crucial Big Ten battle when the Purdue Boilermakers visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena tonight.
Both teams boast elite defenses, and my Purdue vs. Nebraska predictions call for a low-scoring, physical game.
Read on for my college basketball picks for Tuesday, February 10.
Purdue vs Nebraska prediction
Purdue vs Nebraska best bet: Under 147.5 (-116)
The Nebraska Cornhuskers' defensive identity has redefined the season, ranking 11th in KenPom at 66.1 points allowed per game.
Because of this elite stop unit, Nebraska has posted a massive 7-16 Over/Under record, with the Under hitting in eight of its last 10 contests, as its slow-tempo, elite defense stifled opponents.
Meanwhile, the slow-tempo Purdue Boilermakers have struggled offensively on the road, scoring just 67 points at both UCLA and Indiana, resulting in a 9-14 O/U mark.
Expect a physical Big Ten battle that struggles to reach this number.
