The Boilermakers won the Big Ten with a better record than last year, and clinched another undefeated season at Mackey Arena, on the backs of Zach Edey's second National Player of the Year season (somehow even better than the last), an All American season from Braden Smith, a perfect transfer addition in Lance Jones, the winningest senior class in Purdue history, a coach in Matt Painter saying all the right things, and a perfect cast of complementary players.

It looks like, no matter what happens in the Big Ten Tournament, Purdue is set up for a favorable March Madness run as a #1 seed through Indianapolis and Detroit. What could possibly go wrong?
