Purdue Basketball Beat #41: Post-Big Ten Tourney and Selection Sunday

Purdue Basketball Beat #41: Post-Big Ten Tourney and Selection Sunday

The Boiled Sports Megazord got together on Selection Sunday to talk about Purdue's performance in the Big Ten Tournament and the Boilermakers' #5 seed in March Madness. Michael and Aneesh are joined by JMoney and Boilerdowd to talk about the selection committee's flawed process, their undervaluation of the Big Ten, the Boilers going toe-to-toe with Michigan State in the BTT championship game, Purdue's potential path to the second and third weekend of the tournament, Matt Painter's team seemingly peaking at the right time, and Thursday afternoon's matchup against a tough Arkansas-Little Rock.

All that, plus Boilerdowd's sound effects, Seth Davis' green juice, which coaches can singlehandedly win you a game in March, and whether this team will do enough to be remembered.
