There is no real surprise this week for Purdue as it officially enters 2022. The Boilers played just one game last week and it was a relatively easy win over a Nicholls team that had some firepower. Purdue completed its non-conference season at 11-0 and now joins everyone else in heading back into conference play. That means tougher games for everyone, and if the Boilers want to return to No. 1 this year it will need to keep winning, plus have both Baylor and Duke lose. So far that hasn’t happened, so Purdue is staying at No. 3 again.
