Big Ten Tournament Seeding Scenarios: Purdue in Great Shape

We’ve talked a lot about Purdue’s prospective NCAA Seed, but let’s take a look at the first tournament: The annual Big Ten Tournament. As things stand right now Purdue would have the No. 1 seed in the event for the first time ever. The Boilers also are in great shape to drop no lower than the No. 2 seed, which they were in 2008, 2010, and 2011. There is an advantage there. As the 1 or the two seed they would be playing the first game of either the Friday afternoon or evening session. This means a longer rest period before Saturday’s semifinals.
