Last Eight In: VCU, USC, Purdue, Xavier, St. Mary’s, Michigan, Oklahoma, Stanford
First Eight Out: Florida, Cincinnati, Indiana, Tulsa, Richmond, Minnesota, Utah State, Duquesne
It was a relatively calm week in college basketball, at least compared to all the upsets we have seen this season. Perhaps the biggest winner of the week was Purdue. On Wednesday the Boilermakers hosted Iowa and absolutely crushed the Hawkeyes 104-68. They rode that momentum into the weekend and beat Indiana on the road. Purdue is just 14-10 on the year, but the RPI is solid. And, in the Big Ten, there will be plenty of opportunities for Purdue to get more quality wins on their resume.
