We’ve made it to another weekend folks. Congrats to everyone for making it. I always believed in us. With the weekend upon us it means it’s time for our weekly survey results. This week I asked about Purdue’s record in their final two regular season games and your predictions on how far Purdue will go in the NCAA Tournament. So let’s get into it shall we?
First, let’s check in to see what readers think Purdue’s record would be over their final two games. That would be the game at Northwestern and tomorrow’s game against the Badgers on senior night. If you’d like to place a wager on that one feel free to check out our friends at FanDuel.
In a sign of just how far fan enthusiasm has fallen, just 52% thought Purdue would finish 2-0 with an upsetting 10% believing that Purdue would go 0-2. Luckily, with one game out of the way we know the worst Purdue can do is 1-1 over their final two regular season games.
Second, and probably more important to most, is your predictions for how far Purdue will go in the NCAA Tournament.
41% of fans think Purdue will return to the Sweet 16 but get no further. That would match last year’s results but would honestly be very disappointing to most Purdue fans, myself included. 12% of respondents think Purdue won’t get out of the first round. I hope that’s just a temporary sadness and frustration with the season and not a true assessment of where this team is. 3% think Purdue will win it all and 3% think Purdue will end at the Final Four. Would love the 3% who say Purdue will win it all to be right.
One more step on the road to March happens tomorrow at 4:00 in Mackey Arena.
