When the season started the goal was a No. 1 seed in the Midwest and a nice, cushy path from Indy to Chicago to New Orleans. Well, four buzzer beater losses later, we get Milwaukee and Philadelphia instead. While it is not the path we want, it is the path we are given. Purdue will be the No. 3 seed. It is still a lofty seed and a good spot. We avoid a #1 seed for the longest time possible, which is good considering Purdue is 0-7 in the NCAA Tournament all-time against a 1 seed. We’re still relatively close to home in the first and second rounds, as Milwaukee is the next closest venue to West Lafayette.
