Men’s Basketball heads to Maui in November and we’ve got the tourney draw now. Purdue will face Gonzaga in the first round, a rematch of their semi final game last season in the PK85 tourney.  Their second round opponent will be either Tennessee or Syracuse. Let’s take a second to remember what happened last time Purdue played Tennessee….

Good times. Anyways, Purdue is 3-0 lifetime against the Bulldogs. The other thing to note is they do get some good time slots too. They avoid that 11:30 slot in day one, and game 2 will have a reasonable time. Probably don’t want to play in that 5th place game (Purdue has been in it twice in 3 visits going 2-1 in every tourney). Get those floral shirts ready!
