THE NOTES TO KNOW • Purdue "unofficially" begins its 125th season of competition when it hosts Truman State at Mackey Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 2, for its lone exhibition game of the season. The Boilermakers' other allowed preseason competition was a scrimmage against Cincinnati last Saturday. • The Boilermakers own an 1,884 - 1,054 all-time record (.641), ranking tied for 11th with Arizona on the all-time NCAA basketball wins list. The 64.1 winning percentage is tied for 14th all-time. • Purdue begins the season in search of its 25th Big Ten Championship, having won two of the last six regular-season titles (2017, 2019). The Boilermakers are the all-time leader in Big Ten regular-season championships, two ahead of rival Indiana (22). • Purdue returns just 38.4 percent of its scoring and 71 starts from the previous season. The last time Purdue returned under 40.0 percent of its scoring and that few starts from the previous season came in 2018-19 -- a year Purdue won the Big Ten title and reached the Elite Eight. • As many as seven players could see their first career action this season. The Boilermakers have five freshmen and two redshirt-freshmen on their roster. • Purdue has finished in the top four of the Big Ten standings in 11 of the last 15 seasons under Coach Painter. The Boilermakers have finished in the top three in six of the last eight years. • Matt Painter needs 16 overall victories to become the fifth coach in Big Ten history with 400 victories while at a conference school (Bob Knight, Tom Izzo, Gene Keady, Lou Henson). • Purdue has had an All-American in four of the last six seasons (Caleb Swanigan - 2017; Carsen Edwards - 2018, 2019; Jaden Ivey - 2022). Zach Edey is a preseason All-American by almost every publication out there. Only Kansas (4), Gonzaga (3) and Duke (3) have had more first-team All-America honors than Purdue's two in that span (Swanigan, Ivey). • Purdue's six first-team All-Big Ten selections since the 2015-16 season are the most in the Big Ten. Purdue's 10 total All-Big Ten honorees are tied for the third most behind Michigan State (13) and Wisconsin (12). • Purdue has boasted a top-five offense according to KenPom.com in three of the last five seasons. Gonzaga and Iowa are the only other teams that can boast that claim. • Purdue has made seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, the sixth-longest streak in the country. Purdue has accounted for four of the Big Ten's 11 Sweet 16 apperances since the 2016-17 season. • Purdue has earned a double-bye in every Big Ten Tournament (7) that has been played under the current format that was implemented prior to the 2014-15 season. Wisconsin and Michigan State are next with four double-byes earned. • Purdue has 10 players this season standing at least 6-6, the most in school history. Purdue's average height of its scholarship players is 6-7 1/4. • Purdue enters the season with 41 consecutive sellouts, not including exhibition games. It has announced 15 (of 17) sellouts already this year. • The new capacity number for Mackey Arena is 14,876 after 72 seats were added during an offseason renovation. The sellout number will become the second-largest crowd(s) in Mackey Arena history after 15,108 fans somehow snuck in on Feb. 4, 2012, against Indiana. • Purdue is the fourth team in the "others receiving votes" category (29th) in the preseason AP Top 25 poll. Purdue had a streak of 22 straight weeks of being ranked in the AP Top 25 poll snapped in the preseason poll. • However, in most predictive analytics (KenPom, Bart Torvik, Evan Miyakawa), Purdue is ranked anywhere in the 19 to 22 range. • Truman State head coach Jeff Horner played at Iowa from 2003-06. He went 5-2 against Purdue, averaging 17.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG and 4.7 APG.
