The Purdue men’s basketball team enters the NCAA Tournament with a No. 1 seed, ranked No. 3 in the final AP poll. The Purdue women’s team made it back to the tournament for the first time since 2017, getting a play-in game against St. John’s in the No. 11 slot.
TODAY’S THREAD: How do you see this tournament playing out? Give us your scenario. Do the Purdue men get to the Final Four for the first time since 1980? How about a national championship? Do the Purdue women make a dent in the field? Make your case.

Purdue defeats Tenn in rd 16 and faces KSU in elite 8.
Survives the Crimson Tide on Saturday to play UCLA on Monday night and The many time champion David “the buzzer beating”Jenkins hits a winning three point shot with 3 seconds on the clock.
I think it'll be a tough road ALLL the way to the end... There are a lot of good teams out there, but NO ONE has a Zach Edey and he's our golden ticket. He hasn't had too many "bad" games this year so he's kind of a given for us... the key will be if others can step up. I'm about 90% certain we make the Sweet 16, 75% on Elite 8 and 50-50 on Final Four. After that, it's a crapshoot... It also depends on who gets upset along the way!
I’ll be happy with this team and Coach Paint regardless of how many games they win. These amazing young men exemplify teamwork and are amazing examples of good kids. It is hard to remember that they are just kids. They never go on the court to lose. 🖤💛❤️
The men will lose in the second round to Florida Atlantic. The women will lose their first tourney game, to St. John's, BUT they'll be a beast next year.
With the way they have played against the press this year, I don't think they can make the final four, maybe elite eight?
As for the women, maybe win one game, but program is on the rise, good to see.

Memphis could be an insurmountable challenge. Spring arrives on March 20.

As I true Purdue fan, I have both teams going all the way. No doubt in my mind--I think.
Women’s - 1st round win, lose in 2nd
Men’s - win E8 game, lose in heartbreaking fashion in F4
WBB - win one game- better next year .
MBB - Win the NCAA #BoilerUp
