Steven Pearl didn’t have to give the stats and point out how good Purdue is this season, but the Auburn head coach did anyway during his press conference on Thursday while previewing the Tigers’ matchup against the Boilermakers on Saturday in Indianapolis.
“They're the No. 1-rated offense in college basketball,” Pearl started. “We've played three of the top 7-ranked offenses in college basketball, with Michigan and Arizona, as well. They're 13th nationally in rebounding margin, they're fifth nationally in assist-turnover ratio. The more Ted puts these notes together, the more it makes me realize how freakin' good they are.
