If you listened to the latest Boiler Alert podcast you know that this is exactly what I predicted, including the teams that would be in front of Purdue. I’m not a genius or guru of any kind, but I do pay attention to basketball and this was the most logical choice for the rankings today. Who is in front of Purdue you ask?
- Arizona
- Kansas
- Houston
Other people opponents and Big Ten teams in the rankings include:
- #7 Gonzaga
- #8 Marquette
- #17 Tennessee
- #20 Illinois
- #23 Wisconsin
Other teams receiving votes include Ohio State, Northwestern, Alabama, Michigan State, and Purdue’s exhibition opponent Arkansas.
Purdue is next in action tonight at 7:00 PM eastern against Iowa at home in Mackey Arena.
