Purdue Has Ninth Shortest Path to Final Four

The road to the Final Four often has plenty of twists and turns, but this year for the Boilers, the first trip out of town is their longest.

As we all know by know, the Boilermakers start in Hartford before (hopefully) having an opportunity to play in Louisville, and finally (hopefully), a relatively short jaunt to Minneapolis for the Final Four. It looks a little something like this:

Overall that put Purdue as the 9th shortest path to the Final Four, which was shorter than all but one 1-seed (Duke, because of course it is).
