Over their last 10, Purdue is 8-2. In those two losses Purdue scored in the 50's. In the 8 wins they have been 60 or more. Those 2 losses are also the two lowest Points Per Possession games (0.9 & 0.89) during the conference season. Purdue is coming off of their second best PPP game of the conference season. Rutgers was the first game all big ten conference that Purdue gave up more than 1.1 PPP. For comparison sake, in the back to back to back losses to Vandy, ND & GW Purdue gave up 1.25 PPP. Since the start of conference it is just an all together different team. With Rutgers being the outlier, defensively Purdue has been really good.
The biggest variable this year for Purdue has been offensive efficiency. I think the defense returns to normal today and it comes down to how efficient Purdue is on the offensive end.
