ANALYSIS: When you talk about the elite teams in college basketball this year, Purdue most definitely is in the conversation. They are ranked #4 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 30-7. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 56.1), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.
Purdue is one of the very most competent offensive teams in the country. Ranked third in offensive efficiency, they'll rack up more than 121 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Purdue is one of the most lethal teams in the country when it comes to shooting the basketball, ranking in the top-25 in each of our four major field goal categories. The long-ball may be their strength (42.4% from three vs. AO, first in the nation), but the team also makes 67.3% of their near-proximity shots (17th), 44.2% of their mid-range chances (fourth), and 50.6% of their total shots from the field (eighth) vs. AO. Purdue also allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.67, which ranks #19 in the country.
Purdue plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 17th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 92 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Purdue is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 19.10 vs. AO, they are currently rated second in the country in that category. Purdue also does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked 23rd in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 33.4% of their attempts from that distance. To capitalize on that weakness, this team will make AO shoot from mid-range locations more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a large portion of them (35.6%) will be from mid-range.
Purdue has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked 328th in positive momentum. Purdue has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked sixth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Purdue does better vs. clubs that aren't terribly skilled defensively. When playing squads that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 99.62, Purdue performs above average 83% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 20% of the time.
Purdue performs better against squads that allow opponents to shoot well from the field. When facing teams that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 40.87%, Purdue is more efficient than normal 58% of the time. In their other contests, the team is never more efficient than the norm.
When playing teams that fail to defend efficiently inside the paint, Purdue usually performs better than average. Purdue is more efficient than normal 77% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 57.87%. In all other contests, Purdue performs better than average 21% of the time.
