We just completed the strangest season in Purdue basketball history. The Boilers earned a top 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but were upset in the first round by North Texas, the first time Purdue has ever suffered a first round upset as a top 4 seed. Five freshmen played extended minutes over the course of the year, and there were no seniors. In many ways this team exceeded expectations, yet also fell short of expectations given the early tournament exit. Also, everyone technically gets an extra year of eligibility now, so seniors like Trevion Williams can now return not only for 2021-22, but 2022-23.
