Purdue will play North Carolina while Tennessee will take on Villanova. It will be a fun tournament early in the season between some of the nation’s top programs.
The Boilermakers are expected to be one of the top teams in the country in 2021-22, returning over 90% of its minutes played from last season. Despite having one of the youngest teams in the country last season, Purdue finished fourth in the B1G standings and earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
