Purdue loses to 11-8 OSU

[HerbRedman]

Purdue was 19-33 from 3 vs Nebraska.

3-9 from 3 tonight vs Ohio St.

I do think Loenser made the right call letting Purdue shoot 33 threes and score 104 against us. That would normally work.

the difference in 15-5, 13-8 isnt that much, especially in a league as deep as the big ten.

How about Cockeye last night? They lose at home to Minnesota and shoot a dismal 3-21 from beyond the arc. It’s crazy to think that just a few days ago against Nebraska, they went 17-35 from deep.

I know Nebraska isn’t exactly elite at defending the three, but in the last four games, opponents have been scorching hot, shooting over 40% from deep in each contest. Something has to give, right?

• Maryland: 10-25 (40%)
• Rutgers: 12-29 (41%)
• Purdue: 19-33 (58%)
• Cockeye: 17-35 (49%)

Nebraska needs to figure out how to cool teams down from three if they want to stay competitive.
