THE NOTES TO KNOW
• Purdue officially begins its 125th season of competition when it hosts Milwaukee at Mackey Arena on Tuesday, Nov. 8, in its season opener.
• 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 improved to 28-0 under Matt Painter in exhibition games with a 102-57 win over Truman State in front of a sold-out crowd of 14,876 at Mackey Arena last Wednesday. Purdue has won the 28 games by an average of 26.3 points per game.
• The 45-point victory was the largest margin in an exhibition game since Nov. 8, 2015, vs. Northwestern Ohio (92-43; 49 points).
• Purdue's 102 points were the most in an exhibition game since Nov. 3, 2012, a 109-68 victory over Newberry, a span of 13 games. It marked just the second 100-point game in an exhibition game under Painter.
• The Boilermakers averaged 1.55 points per possession, including 1.58 in the second half.
• Purdue recorded 28 assists against just four turnovers. The Boilermakers had 28 assists on 40 made field goals. Purdue had six players with at least three assists, led by Fletcher Loyer's six. The four turnovers were also the fewest in an exhibition game under Painter.
• Purdue's bench scored 62 of the team's 102 points. The group went 25-of-40 (.625) from the field and had just one turnover, coming on a defensive rebound that was lost out-of-bounds.
• The Boilermakers were 30-of-43 (.698) from inside the 3-point line.
• Five players were in double figures in the win over Truman State (Edey - 23; Kaufman-Renn - 15; Newman - 13; Jenkins Jr. - 12; Furst - 11).
• Purdue had two "true" freshmen start the exhibition game for the first time since the 2007-08 season (Hummel, Moore, Johnson).
• 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.
• 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 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 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.
