Purdue has played roughly a third of its 31 regular season games. It has played 10 of its 13 non-conference games and already sits atop the Big Ten with Michigan State and Ohio State at 2-0 in league play. Barring a complete and unforeseen collapse the Boilermakers will play in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight season and 29th time overall. Is it too early to talk about seeding?
Yes, but we’re going to do it anyway.
One of the biggest problems Purdue has faced under Matt Painter is getting quality a seed. The last time Purdue was at least a 2 seed was 1998, when it was upset by Stanford in the Sweet 16.
