Braden Smith is 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the final 27.6 seconds as the Boilermakers need overtime to fend off Nebraska.
Purdue's young Boilermakers found out Saturday afternoon.
Nebraska performed masterfully on defense and rallied from a 14-point deficit in the second half to force overtime, but the fourth-ranked Boilermakers prevailed 65-62 thanks to some late free throws, to improve to 10-0 and 2-0 in the Big Ten. The Huskers used a 10-0 run over a 1:48 span, hitting three 3s and getting fouled while shooting on one of those, to spark the home crowd. Nebraska carried that momentum throughout, but the Boilermakers survived.The reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Week supplied offense when the Boilermakers couldn't get anyone else going. Known for his shooting ability, Loyer provided the highlight of the game with a driving dunk over Emmanuel Bandoumele midway through the second half.
