Well, it was fun while it lasted.
While Purdue appeared to steal a victory in a poor performance Thursday night at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights had other ideas. The Boilers couldn’t hold a 6-point lead with three minutes left and Ron Harper Jr’s 40 foot heave took us down in our first ever game as a No. 1 ranked team. Sunday’s recovery in Brooklyn saved a farther drop, but Baylor has taken our spot at the top.
The good news is Purdue is still in the top 5, meaning it holds on to a No.
