Unveiling Shocking Stats from the Round of 64 & 32 That Could Change Everything

Unveiling Shocking Stats from the Round of 64 & 32 That Could Change Everything

Over their last 6 games (since March 9th), Purdue’s Kenpom adjusted defensive efficiency rating is 88.4 with games against some solid offensive teams in Nebraska (52), Michigan (6), Miami (33), UCLA (28), and Queens (79). From their pre-March numbers, that is a roughly 12 points per 100 possessions and likely around an 8.4 point swing in their favor defensively. That places them 11th in the country in that same time frame since March 9th and would place them 10th of the remaining teams in the Sweet 16.

Purdue has played more drop coverage and that may be one reason for Purdue’s improvement as they are forcing more long jump shots inside the arc or funneling players into their size inside. It would also be incredibly beneficial if CJ Cox was able to play at or near 100% given his defensive metrics as top-tier perimeter defender.

A bit of opponent insight in this regard as well: Texas ranks last of the Sweet 16 teams defensively in that same time frame at 95.2.
