Don’t think they’re the better team at all. They shot well above their season average from 3 in both games (50% in Evanston and 51.9% last night). Only reason it was close was Purdue shooting well below their normal FT percentage.
Purdue has played (and beaten) plenty of teams with quick guards that can score this year. What will end our season will probably be if we have a really bad shooting night like last year.
