2025 Tournament PreviewA Big Ten preseason favorite, Purdue started 19-5 only to lose five of its last seven and finish middle of the pack. Still, the Boilermakers sport a top-10 offense (per KenPom), and All-American candidate Braden Smith (16.1 ppg, 8.7 apg, 4.6 rpg) is a big reason why, as he shoots 38.4 percent from three-point range and leads the conference in assists average. The 6-9 Trey Kaufman-Renn (20.2 ppg, 6.2 rpg) turned out to be a formidable Zach Edey replacement. Purdue gets it done from outside, with a top-10 three-point shooting percentage (38.5), led by junior guard Fletcher Loyer (13.8 ppg), who hits 46.4 percent from deep. Defense is questionable -- ranked 27th on the perimeter but 350th inside the arc, allowing opponents to shoot 56.4 percent on two-pointers. But Purdue totaled seven Quad 1 wins and no bad losses, and with a coach in Matt Painter who has national championship experience, a deep run can't be ruled out.
