When they have:
-Senior leadership.
-Defensive desire & discipline.
-1's that don't turn the ball over (just enough sauce).
-Aggressive, yet fundamental guys on the glass, with size.
-Multiple bigs to rotate in and out. Which gives Purdue more fouls to work with (kind of reminds me of the 2010 Duke team with Zoubek, Thomas & Plumlee).
-Shooters to keep teams honest and space the court.
-Depth all over the gym.
Just look at the # of quality shots Purdue gets off per game compared to the opposition.
And Biggie is only going to get better throughout the year with in-game experience. Learning what he can and can't get away with at this level, especially from a TO perspective.
Going to be a very, very tough team to beat in Mackey, let alone in general, especially on a neutral court come tournament time.
Gonna be an exciting year in West Lafayette.
Boiler up!
