For the first time in seven years Purdue is playing on the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. This year has been about ending several streaks:
· First Big Ten title in seven years
· First outright Big Ten title in 21 years
· First NCAA tournament win in five years
· First Sweet 16 in seven years
So what about a few more? What about our first Elite eight in 17 years and first Final Four in 37 years? Those are the next two big ones. Before the season most people felt that a Big Ten title and a Sweet 16 appearance were reasonable goals for this team.
