Purdue Basketball is Back: New Season, High Expectations
We’re back baby! Purdue basketball officially kicked off today for their first practice. We’ve had a lot of hype going into certain years but there hasn’t been this much expectations for a team in my life time.
In every preseason poll they are ranked between 2-4 nationally. Not that you need reminding, but we didn’t know what to make of last years team with lots of new faces.
The Boilers came out dominating the Phil Knight Legacy Tournament, winning the Big Ten, winning the Big Ten tournament and seemed to have the capabilities to make a run in March. Then Purdue did Purdue things and became the second ever #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed in the first round of March Madness.
