Both Purdue Basketball teams are in action starting today, and both are in different Oceans. Over in the Pacific, the men are in Hawaii for the Maui Invite. This is an absolutely stacked field. It has the number 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, and 29th ranked teams in the country. Purdue will have to go thru number 11, then get to play perhaps Tennessee who is ranked 7th. After that would be a final between either Kansas or Marquette in theory. So Purdue would have to beat 3 straight top 11 teams to win this title. No big deal right? Purdue tips at 5pm on ESPN 2. When and who they play next depends on who wins today. Full bracket it right here with times and dates.
Meanwhile, the Women’s team is in the Atlantic Ocean at the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship. They’ll play 2 games, the first today against a 3-1 Florida, Purdue sports has the info on how you can watch and listen. The game starts at 4pm. Then they’ll play again Wednesday against Georgia who is also 3-1 also at 4pm as well.
By the way, the weather:
Honolulu: 78 and rain
Nassau: 82 cloudy
Lafayette: Not as warm.
Also Coach Painter still has in apparently…
