Happy Selection Sunday Eve, to all that celebrate. Our beloved Boilermakers are finding a rhythm again and will play the best team in the nation tomorrow, Michigan, before finding out what seed they are and where they will play.

One of the most anticipated days of the College Basketball Season is selection Sunday. Teams will be disappointed. Teams will be thrilled. For Purdue Fans, it has become an annual tradition of seeing where we will be at in the coming days to weeks.

But, more importantly, as we await the committee’s decision on us is, where, how and when to watch our draw.

It appears as if Purdue will fall along the 3 seed line for the tournament, but the location is what important to Purdue fans.

In the end, Indianapolis is where our title chase ends, just 60 minutes from campus.

As it stands now, Fanduel has Purdue with the 9th best odds to win it all, at +3500. Michigan is the favorite at just +300.
