Will Purdue Basketball make it all the way this year?

Purdue just came off their first lost of the young 2023-2024 basketball season and it seems a lot of people just don’t think Painter’s squad have what it takes to win in late March and early April. Just earlier in November this team was able to beat a gauntlet of teams in the Maui Invitational. Playing, and beating, Gonzaga, Tennessee, and Marquette in 3 consecutive days shows just how deep this ball club really is. To me it seems all the tools are there to make a deep run in March and not just compete with the best, but to be the best. They took a tough loss to Northwestern just a few days ago but with our poor shooting and ridiculous amount of turnovers was just us asking to take a close loss on the road. I think the title of this blog post doesn’t actually have anything to do with if I think they will or not, solely because it’s too early in the season.
