PU - 5 1/2 vs Butler
- Thread starter Dryfly88
- Start date
It's basically a home game for them and we typically play poorly in that arena so I will take a 1 point win and be very happy.
That's it??? Seriously. Boilers win by 14. We are a matchup nightmare for the butheads...
Speaking of buttheads I see your still swirling around the stool.
-4.5 everywhere I look. It's interesting, as I can see this being a close game at the end. We obviously have not been tested late into a game, but I would expect a FT contest would favor us. Dunham's FT% is ridiculously good, but Jones' % has to be similar to mine at the carnival.
Purdue's FT percentage on the year is 74%. Butler's is 75%. Not really an edge to anyone - although you obviously see fluctuations in percentages. Dunham is the best free throw shooter on either team by far. Purdue needs to win the battle of going to the line most. That will also mean we're being aggressive. When we struggle is when we are not, particularly inside.
I suppose I was trying to say PU has a more consistent ability to make those shots. Dunham is 85% and #5 in all NCAA. Jones is 50ish% & Butler has a very small bench. We don't seem to have those outliers.
