Eighth-ranked Purdue's seniors have won an outright Big Ten regular season title earlier in their careers as well as earned a trip to the Sweet 16, but they have not won a Big Ten Tournament title.
They get the chance starting Friday against 14th-seeded Rutgers, which has won two early round games to earn the opportunity to face the third-seeded Boilermakers (26-5) in the quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Rutgers (15-18) has upset Minnesota and Indiana in the tournament to advance to face Purdue, which swept two games from the Scarlet Knights during the regular season.
