Analysis of Boiler vs AZ
- Thread starter Do Dah Day
- Start date
Good stuff and can't disagree with any of it. Hoping for an off night by AZ.
But, an interesting question arises...
Should Purdue win, would they go back to #1?

If Purdue won any place not in Indiana I'd say yes.
Since it's in Indy they probably need to win handily.
IMO
I'd be surprised if a 1 loss Purdue team with 5 wins over KenPom top 15 teams isn't #1.
Will this be that dreaded Saturday after final exams game that has given Purdue so much trouble in the past?
Yep, and we have always struggled in the Cross Roads Classic, same place, same time!
We actually won the last 2 years the classic was held and we beat Davidson last year on that same date. AZ is a step up in competition for sure, but we have had success post finals week for the past 3 years.
I believe if Purdue wins even if if only by 1 point, there is zero chance they won't be #1.
As to the posters above....as far as #1 IF we win?
Could be. But more likely #2 moves up, and we become #2.
Eventually, Houston's perfect record will matter. Voters could go that way instead of Kansas.

I think it was more so that we struggled vs Davidson last year. That game was ugggggly. We shot 3-25 from 3 and 33% overall. Hope we shoot what we have been averaging this year!
Keep TOs at 10 or below, make FTS and 2 other guys besides Zach need to have good games.
That works likely about every time against every opponent.
If we can keep our avg on TOs and turn them over a bit, while supporting Zach by hitting 35%+ from 3….that will usually allow us to be successful in a game (or all games) haha
Yep. While we don't turn over a lot of teams a bunch, I was impressed with the 9 steals we had against a good AL team playing at the top of their game.
I don't see the media heads putting us ahead of Kansas if they win in Bloomington tomorrow.
