Mackey Arena is widely considered among the best environments in college basketball. It houses one of the best teams in the country, and a passionate fanbase makes it incredibly difficult for opponents to escape with a win.
Since the start of the 2021-22 season, Purdue has a 60-5 record at Mackey Arena, a .923 winning percentage. The Boilermakers are 25-0 in non-conference games and are 35-5 in Big Ten contests.
Purdue is also shooting 40.1% from three-point range in those games and has won 26 games by 20 points or more. It doesn't get much more dominant than that.
Needless to say, Mackey Arena will continue to uphold its reputation as an electric college basketball atmosphere with 17 more sellouts ahead.
