Purdue (20-10, 11-9) does not have to travel far and they’ve already played two of three other teams in the regional but that is where their good fortune runs out. The Boilers are an eight seed in this year’s tournament. This year half the field is seeded which means as an eight seed Purdue is in the same regional as a one seed, Louisville.
The Boilers will first take on Tennessee (17-13, 11-7)at 4:00 on ESPN+. Host, Louisville will play Samford at 7:00. The winners will play Saturday at 6:00.
Tennessee and Purdue faced each other way back in week one with Purdue winning in four sets.
