The good news is that in the eyes of many Purdue is back on the 1 seed line! BracketMatrix, which collects over 100 proposed brackets across the Internet, has Purdue as the consensus No. 4 overall seed, joining Baylor, Auburn, and Gonzaga on the top line with an average seed of 1.53 across 108 brackets. That is slightly ahead of Kansas for the fourth No. 1 seed. Joe Kunardi at ESPN moved Purdue onto the 1 line this week, but in the East (Philadelphia) region. It is not the cushy Indianapolis to Chicago path we would all like, but if Purdue falls to a 2 or even a 3 seed it will very likely play the first two games just down the road from campus at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
