It’s been no secret over the course of February that Purdue has had an almost team wide shooting issue from behind the arc. A team that has shot just 33.1% from behind the arc for the season, Purdue has shot just 29% in February if you remove the season high shooting night against Penn State (45.2%). So the question becomes, is rest really needed for Purdue to get through these issues or is this team just a snake-bitten shooting team?
After the Ohio State game where Purdue shot 7/16 (43.8%) from three, Purdue got five days off prior to the Indiana game at Mackey Arena.
