Purdue now has a loss. Only once under Matt Painter has Purdue gone through the non-conference season undefeated, but to some, a six point loss to a ranked team on a neutral floor is a grievous insult and the Fire Painter crowd is now more vocal. Contrary to what some think, you can still make a Final Four and even win national title if you lose a regular season game in December. So let's calm down.
The overall profile is still excellent and as long as Purdue beats Vanderbilt and does well in the Big Ten the Boilers will get a nice seed in March.
