2017 NCAA Tournament Vermont vs. Purdue: Preview, Odds, & How to Watch

For the 29^th time in school history Purdue is in the NCAA Tournament. This happens more seasons than not. Since 1983 Purdue has only missed the tournament nine times. It is the minimal expectation at the beginning of ever season and before 2015, winning a game was also expected. From 1994 to 2012 Purdue made the tournament 14 times and was a perfect 14-0 in opening round games. We really should be 16-0 in said games since 1994, but complete collapses in the final minutes the last two years have led to overtime losses, as we all know.
