Tonight is a bit of a bittersweet night, as it is the final home game of the 2016-17 season (although a victory technically clinches an NIT berth in the highly unlucky scenario Purdue is not chosen as an at large team). That means we say goodbye to our seniors. This year’s senior class is a bit strange. We were supposed to be saying goodbye to Kendall Stephens, Basil Smotherman, and Bryson Scott. They all entered Purdue as four-star top 100 players in the recruiting class of 2013 with a ton of promise.
None of them are seniors this year, instead, and all three have since left the program.
