Purdue vs. High Point Analysis
America, get ready to meet Cinderella. The High Point Panthers boast all the qualities needed to make a deep March run, and it begins with this matchup.
High Point isn’t just an elite mid-major offense. It’s one of the best offensive teams in America, ranking 32nd in Torvik’s offensive efficiency since Feb. 1. It’s very efficient, shooting a dazzling 59% from the field, led by Kezza Giffa, who loves to attack the hoop.
As we saw in the Big South championship game, High Point is fully capable of dipping into its second unit. The Panthers have a rotation with 11 legitimate impactful players, and Alan Huss isn’t scared to bench the starters if the bench is out-performing them.
I don’t trust High Point’s defense, as it sits 173rd in defensive efficiency since Feb. 11. The Panthers have a fairly basic drop-coverage scheme with 7-footer Juslin Bodo Bodo floating around the paint. However, the back-to-back Big South DPOY is an eraser down low, and he leads the nation in offensive rebounding rate.
Meanwhile, Purdue is one of the worst teams in America at defending the rim. Since Feb. 1, Purdue is the second-worst team in America in 2-point field goal percentage. The Panthers will thrash this turnstile defense.
The Pick: High Point +9.5
