How much of this was because of our superior defense inside, and how much is this a part of Purdue's normal offense?
Purdue took 30 from beyond the arc.

Purdue has tremendous 3 point shooters along with two seven foot centers that can score inside.
They have the exact 5 on the floor I’ve always wanted. Dribble drive PG, post, surrounded by shooters.

Purdue averages 24 3-pt shots per game. The two Edwards average 10 attempts combined, but last night they hoisted up 17 attempts between the two of them.
I really believe that was the coach's gameplan, to put up more 3s (and look for Hass to rebound the misses), knowing their percentage from 3 is greater than our overall shooting percentage.
By the way, with all those 3-pointers they draw you out and spread the floor, opening up great looks down low, where Purdue was 14-20 (70%) on mostly layups and dunks.
