• Purdue owns a 91-76 series lead with Iowa, having won three straight in the series, including a victory in West Lafayette on Feb. 5 (box score available later in packet). Purdue, however, is just 2-5 in its last seven games in Iowa City, dating to the 2010-11 season.
• Purdue is looking for its fifth win of the season against a nationally-ranked squad, which would tie for the fourth most in America (Iowa leads with 7). Purdue has won at least five games against ranked teams in two of the last three years (2016-17, 2018-19).
• Purdue has played one of the toughest schedules in America. Purdue has played 15 quad-1 opponents (fifth most in America) and the Boilermakers schedule is No. 4 in the country according to ESPN. Purdue's 10 games against nationally-ranked teams are the second most in the country (Iowa - 11) and Purdue's four wins are the 10th most. For comparison purposes, Purdue has won as many games against ranked teams that Colorado, Duke, Gonzaga, Stanford, USC and others have played.
• Purdue is 14-2 this year and 34-3 since the start of last year when shooting a higher field goal percentage than its opponent. The Boilermakers are 1-12 when shooting a lower field goal percentage than its opponent (win vs. VCU).
• Head coach Matt Painter's next victory will tie him with Ohio State legend Thad Matta on the Big Ten's all-time wins list (337).
• Purdue's defense held Indiana to 25.4 percent shooting, the second lowest by an opponent in Big Ten play (Michigan on Feb. 13, 2002 - .241).
• Purdue freshmen and sophomores have combined for 1,167 points this year (40.2 PPG), accounting for 59.3 percent of Purdue's scoring this year. In games that the two classes score at least 35 points, the Boilermakers are 13-8 overall. When they don't, Purdue is 2-6.
• Purdue is 9-2 when scoring at least 70 points this year (losses to Michigan and Penn State), but is just 6-12 when being held under 70 points.
• The magic number for Purdue is 45 percent. When the Boilermakers shoot at least 45.0 percent from the field, Purdue is 10-1. When holding foes under 45.0 percent, Purdue is 15-6.
