Purdue

[Orangezoo]

Such an interesting team this year. 13-10 overall with a 29 pt win over UVA, 29 pt win over MSU and now a 36 pt win over Iowa tonight.

They are 4-7 vs the top 25 and currently hovering around the play in game. Easily the best 13-10 team in the country. They could finish 17-15 and have a very strong argument to be a lock. Such a weird year.

They’re dominant at home. All 3 wins you mentioned were at home. In conference play they’re 5-1 at home and 1-5 on the road (only win was by 3 to the worst big 10 team, Northwestern),

Mackey is a top 5 if not 3 home court , brutal place to play

True. They have been close on the road as well but overall they make their living at home. They were a play in at 12-10 before the drubbing of Iowa.

That game was unreal last night. Purdue is a 33% percent 3 point shooting team and could not miss.

I know - I keep thinking we're going to have a game like that - hopefully against a Louisville or Florida State where we start and stay hot for 40 minutes and throttle someone.

56% from 3-pt range and 71% inside the arc - unreal!

But 37.5% from the FT line... Painter should have them running a bunch of wind sprints after practice to make up for that abomination...

ESPN's BPI absolutely loves Purdue - ranked #13 with 10 loses. Actually they love all of the B1G - #4 MSU is ahead of Baylor despite having 6 more losses. The only other teams in the top 50 with 10 losses are Wisc and Minn.

I don't understand their algorithm and don't care, but thought it was interesting.
