It’s like Christmas for college basketball fans, with the start of the NCAA Tournament days away.
However, they are also the weakest top seed in the tournament.
The problem with the Boilermakers is their guards can struggle against athletic defenses that pressure the ball.Purdue does have a lot of quality wins on the season, beating Marquette, Duke and Gonzaga.Still, teams in the Big Ten don’t pressure the basketball and force turnovers regularly. When Rutgers and Penn State fell behind Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament and had to press, the Boilermakers had all kinds of issues with ball security.
However, that stat is misleading because of the way Big Ten teams play defense. Looking at the East Region, Memphis, Tennessee and Marquette all pressure the basketball and rank Top 50 in forcing turnovers.Xavier Musketeers
