As the Purdue Boilermakers prepare to host the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Mackey Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying encounter. The Boilermakers, coming off a decisive 79-63 victory over Indiana State Sycamores on December 20th, are looking to continue their dominant form.

In their last outing, Purdue showcased a balanced attack and robust defense. They outrebounded their opponents by seven and recorded five blocks while maintaining an impressive field goal percentage of 47 percent. Their three-point shooting was particularly lethal, hitting at a remarkable rate of 50 percent from beyond the arc. This kind of sharpshooting could spell trouble for any team that steps onto the court against them.

The Boilermakers' ability to distribute the ball effectively was evident as they racked up 20 assists with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.25. Such fluid ball movement is a testament to their cohesive team play and will be crucial in dismantling the Cornhuskers' defense.

However, it's not just about offense for Purdue; they've proven they can get down and dirty on defense as well. With eight steals in their last game and consistently forcing turnovers, they've shown that they can disrupt opposing offenses and convert those opportunities into points.

On the other side of the court stands Nebraska, who will undoubtedly come prepared with strategies to counter Purdue's strengths. It would be unwise for fans or analysts alike to underestimate NEB's potential impact on this game.

Looking back at Purdue's performance against Notre Dame Fighting Irish on December 17th reveals some areas for improvement despite falling short with only 39 points scored—a stark contrast from their recent triumphs. The low field goal percentage (25 percent) from that game serves as a reminder that consistency will be key if they wish to maintain winning ways.

As we approach game day on February 17th at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, IN scheduled for tip-off at 4:00 PM EST (9:00 PM GMT), all eyes will be on whether PUR can replicate its high-scoring offense while tightening up any defensive lapses witnessed earlier this season.

Fans eager not to miss a moment of action can catch live coverage where PUR aims not only for victory but also seeks validation as one of the formidable forces within women’s college basketball circles this season.
