HAWKEYES AT #2 PURDUE: PREVIEW, HOW TO WATCH, GAME THREAD

The Iowa Hawkeyes (7-0, 0-0) continue their road stretch with a visit to the #2 Purdue Boilermakers (7-0, 0-0). After their flamethrowing performance over Florida State, the Boilers now possess the #1 offense according to KenPom’s efficiency metrics and the #2 raw scoring offense, at 92.4 points/game. The Hawks are 4th and 1st, in each of those categories.

It’s been a bit of a winding road, from a stylistic perspective, for Purdue under Matt Painter. The hearty defense in the early part of his tenure behind the Baby Boilers group of E’Twaun Moore, JaJuan Johnson, and Robbie Hummel with top 20 defenses from 2007 to 2011.
