Purdue will play in the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
Before the season I believed that was the main goal of the season. There were a lot of questions with no seniors on the roster, five freshmen playing major minutes, the departure of four critical components (not to mention the immortal Tommy Luce), and we were coming off of a barely .500 year. This was all before a pandemic dragged on as long as it has.
But with at least four games left I believe Purdue is a lock for the tournament. The committee is not going to leave out a team with 10 wins in the Big Ten, especially since two have come against possible 1 seed Ohio State.
