Undersized Butler forward who goes and grabs 10-12 boards, gets to the line 10 times, outhustles you to every loose ball, and completely ruins your day. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. I'm sick and *ing tired of losing to Butler.

Yes, but he's not getting a ton of minutes....three games so far with double-digit minutes. Looks like he did have 7 boards (with 4 points) Saturday in about 12 minutes of action.
Brunk hasn't played much. Only averaging about 6-7 minutes a game over their last 5 games.
Have you looked deeper in to his stats rather than just the topical stats of PPG and rebounds?
In games against their better competition (have yet to play a ranked team up to this point btw) with Maryland likely their toughest opponent, Martin has taken a total of 89 shots in those 5 games to get his points. Meaning he is taking 17.8 shots per game to get to that 17 points. If Martin wants to take that many shots to average 19 points, then let him. Purdue has two to three better defenders than what any other team could throw their way previously in this season. Also, in two of those games (Maryland and Texas), Butler lost by an average of 13.5 points. Their other opponents have been traditionally 200+ RPI teams.
Butler has yet to play any one even remotely close to what Purdue has shown this season. I am guessing Vince and Mathias guard Martin BUT wouldn't be surprised to see Eastern guard him as well at times while Mathias is used to shut down other players. Let Martin get his and if he gets 30 but Butler loses....great for him!
He’s playing more and better than earlier in the year. I’d expect him to get decent minutes on Saturday with our height.
Geez, we haven't beaten them since I've been 55 - DAMN!
To answer your question, no I don't have the time to look that deep into the stats. However, I do know that Butler plays against "lesser" competition to begin with and yet they've had a knack for defeating Purdue.
Very true. Personally Carson Edwards is an elite talent and Haas is way better than most on here want to admit. If we play up to our ability, we will win. Better come out focused and ready to kill. Will be a great game.
Martin is a high volume shooter, no doubt. But also very streaky. I suspect Butler wins a very high percentage of the games he hits 30. And loses a similar percentage if he’s less than 10. I would choose the latter.
