The Boilermakers have largely fixed their leaky defense and are the No. 2 overall seed in The Washington Post’s field of 68 projection.

The offense, meanwhile, is a worthy successor to last year, when the Boilermakers ranked No. 2 in adjusted offensive efficiency behind Duke. They’re No. 1 this season. Purdue has settled into a routine over the last month, playing games mostly between 60 and 65 possessions, keeping opponents to about 65 points or less and letting its offense take it from there. Little wonder it took running into an elite defensive team — Rutgers, a 65-64 winner at Purdue on Jan. 2 — to deal the Boilermakers their only loss.
For now, Purdue occupies the No. 2 overall seed in The Washington Post’s field of 68 projection. With a more complete team than last year, the Boilermakers could very well remain right around there right up until Selection Sunday.
