Purdue will have its doubters all season because of the struggles against some of the athletic, high pressure teams that they faced early on, as well as the lack of rim protection, but I believe that they are now playing much better collectively than they were playing before the New Year. All Purdue can do now is keep beating the teams on the schedule and keep improving. I actually think that this new version of Purdue would fair much better now in a rematch against the four teams that beat them. I’m not saying that they would beat Auburn, but they would be much more competitive and I would really like their chances against the other 3.
