Don’t recall hearing Purdue’s pre-NCAA tournament national ranking all that much.

If I recall, according to the S curve, the Selection Committee rated Purdue at 15.

Same as the AP Ranking of Louisville back in February 1971, the last time we beat a ranked opponent. #15 Louisville at Freedom Hall.

Thanks for the reminder, Plumm.  Reading the write up on Purdue, North Texas was mentioned.

Villanova was only #18 and a #5 seed because they lost their PG and looked bad in the Conference Tourney.  Then they got practice time and figured out how to play with out him.  They are more realistically #10-12 and a #3 seed imo
