Two seed talk

In this morning’s updated bracket, ESPN dropped Purdue from the 2 line to the 3, after losing to OSU. Win impressively tonight, and based on the rest of this weekend’s games, they could find there way back to the 2 soon.

One game at a time, but that said, this team has the talent, experience and leadership to win the rest of the games on their regular season schedule.
 
This has been one of my favorite Purdue teams to watch develop because of the adversity that they faced early on and how they have come together as a team. It’s hard to recall a team turning it around this dramatically on defense so quickly. There is a perception that to be great defensively you need to have extreme athleticism and length, but there are definitely longer and more athletic teams than Purdue in the Big Ten. Purdue is doing it with connectedness, heart, great coaching, and total buy-in from the entire rotation.

We have all been very spoiled with the last 3 years prior to this season where Purdue was playing very well to start the season. This was not like that year in part due to the scheduling and Zach leaving. We weren’t used to this type of thing happening 😂 or maybe we all forgot. They’re peaking at the right time and hope it continues into March.
