25. Purdue Boilermakers

Previous Ranking: 21

Record: 17-5 (6-3 Big Ten)

Purdue had won three straight before suffering a road loss at Nebraska. The Boilermakers are now fourth in the Big Ten going into a showdown with Northwestern.

Dakota Mathias was nearly the hero in the loss to the Cornhuskers. He had 19 points and hit 5-of-7 from deep in the close contest. Caleb Swanigan was his usual consistent self with a 14-point, 14-rebound double-double. Purdue doesn’t have the overwhelming talent to win a lot on the road, but is definitely one of the more interesting teams in the country entering February.
