Fans roasted Purdue men's basketball after losing yet again as a favored top seed in March
The Purdue men’s basketball team is not helping its reputation as March Madness choke artists.
After losing to No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson last year as a top seed in the men’s NCAA tournament, the Boilermakers squandered its attempt to win the Big 10 tournament in a semifinal loss to Wisconsin.
Wisconsin entered the Big 10 tournament as a five seed compared to Purdue’s one seed, making it even more likely the Boilermakers would win since they’re the third-ranked team in the nation.
However, Purdue couldn’t manage to close things out against Wisconsin and surrendered a late basket and the 76-75 loss.
As you can imagine, college basketball fans let Purdue have it for their absolute unreliability when it comes time for tournament play.
