This is the final update on our non-conference opponents, as some have finished their seasons. This year we will get an added bonus, as two of Purdue’s early season opponents successfully won their conference tournaments. Only one will go to the NCAAs, however.
As far as Purdue’s overall profile, the Boilers are currently on the line between a 2 seed and a 3 seed as we enter the Big Ten Tournament. Barring a loss to Penn State or Minnesota Friday night, Purdue is probably at least a three seed at minimum. If it reaches Sunday of the Big Ten Tournament we can move up to a 2 seed, but a 1 seed is very unlikely at this point.
