One of the biggest flaws of this Purdue team that lost to St. Peter’s in the Sweet 16 was an inability to consistently hit shots from behind the three point line. Despite Painter’s insistence that he recruits a shooter for every class those players just didn’t find the consistency that Purdue needed to move on to the Elite 8. There’s hope that Fletcher Loyer will be that guy for the foreseeable future.
As one of the best three point shooters in the country he was invited to participate in the National High School Three Point Shootout in New Orleans.
