Purdue bounced back at home with a 19 point win against the Rockets.
74
The total number of points that Purdue’s big three scored last night. Braden Smith led the way with 34, followed by 23 from TKR and 17 from Loyer.
The remaining six players that played more than 10 minutes combined for nine points. You can see this from both sides of the spectrum. It is a great problem to have three players that can be so dominant, but it is also a terrible problem to have six other players combine for only nine points.
The terrific trio will need help during the Big Ten Schedule if they want a chance at another Big Ten Championship.
10
The number of three-pointers made by Purdue were all from Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer. Where has Colvin’s silky shot gone? Why is Heide in hiding? Purdue has one singular post player who is effective at scoring, aside from TKR, this team will mostly live and die from the three-point line.
0
The total number of points that Myles Colvin and Cam Heide combined for last night. It is a little alarming, to be honest. Purdue will need this duo to score 12 to 16 points a night during Big Ten Play to feel comfortable at all, if they fail to do so, Purdue may have a long Big Ten Season ahead of themselves.
