Penn State Basketball: How to beat Purdue in the Big Ten Quarterfinals
By Evan Smith
Seth Lundy’s offense
Seth Lundy has improved defensively all year long, earning a reputation as a lockdown defender.
But offensively, Lundy’s been wildly inconsistent this year.
Lundy enters Friday night shooting a decent 36.2% from three point range, which is probably even a tick or two higher considering some of the degree of difficulty on his shots. More confusing, however, is his disappearance on offense doing anything inside the three-point arc.
A strong, athletic slasher, Lunday has been unwilling to try to do much off the bounce, instead of settling for outside shots.
Entering Friday night’s contest, Lundy is averaging ten shots a game but six of those come from beyond the arc.
A key for a Nittany Lion upset will be getting Edey and Williams in foul trouble so Lundy will need to work off the dribble to attack them at the basket. Seth is an 87.7% free throw shooter too, so he doesn’t shy away from contact.
Penn State Basketball will need every offensive skill set from Lundy tonight, and that will include scoring from inside the arc.
