With the loss to Wisconsin yesterday and UCLA’s win over USC Purdue’s seeding for the Big Ten Tournament is finalized. In a season where Purdue was picked as the favorite to win the conference and grab that one seed there’s a lot of disappointment around these parts as Purdue will settle for the 7th seed in the tournament.
That means that Purdue will play on Thursday of the Big Ten Tournament and is set to face either IU, Northwestern, or Penn State. All of these teams gave Purdue trouble during the regular
season and so nothing is guaranteed and nothing is handed to the Boilermakers. Matt Painter said a lot of things in the senior day speeches about not giving up, having goals still in front of them, and getting back in gear to reach those goals, but the rubber actually meets the road when it’s win or go home time. That time is now. It’s time for Purdue to get some wins.
