In roughly one week Purdue will be tipping off its 2019 NCAA Tournament run. The games officially start just after noon next Thursday, and some time on Thursday or Friday we’ll be playing some small conference autobid winner. Bracket Matrix continues to have us as a solid three seed, meaning we would open against a 14 seed. Even if we drop to a 4 seed no one is getting an at large bid as a 13 seed, so we’re playing an autobid winner regardless.
This has been a familiar position for Purdue of late.
