Purdue and Villanova will square off tonight in the Round of 32 in Hartford, Connecticut. Usually, there’s no knowns in March, but we know one thing for sure - there’s going to be a lot of 3-pointers when these two teams square off.
On Thursday, when Villanova bested St. Mary’s and Purdue beat Old Dominion, they combined to hoist 50 three-pointers.
Purdue actually topped Villanova on the night, carrying most the deep-range load, shooting 30 threes while Villanova shot only 20. Only 20, because it’s been a long time since Jay Wright’s Wildcats shot under 20 threes in a game.
