As the Purdue Boilermakers prepare to host the Indiana Hoosiers at Mackey Arena, fans can anticipate an intense matchup. The Boilermakers have been showcasing a dominant performance on their home court, and this game is expected to be no exception.
Analyzing past games, Purdue has demonstrated a strong offensive presence. In their recent victory against the Jacksonville Dolphins, they scored an impressive 100 points with a field goal percentage of 52 and were particularly effective from inside the paint where they scored half of their points. Their two-point shooting was remarkable with a success rate of 67 percent. Defensively, they also excelled by making 14 steals and blocking six shots.
Against the Arizona Wildcats in Indianapolis, Purdue's offense remained potent as they put up 92 points with an even higher field goal percentage of 54 percent. They maintained efficiency from beyond the arc hitting 42 percent of their three-point attempts.
Even when playing away against Alabama's Crimson Tide in Toronto, Purdue managed to secure another win scoring 92 points once again while maintaining solid shooting percentages across the board: 48 percent from the field and an impressive free throw percentage of 86.
The upcoming game promises to be challenging as both teams will bring their best to Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers' trend suggests that fans can expect high-scoring action with efficient shooting both from close range and downtown. Additionally, their ability to convert turnovers into points has been notable in past games which could play a significant role against Indiana.
