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 and college basketball picks call for a low-scoring, physical game.
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.
