18. Purdue Boilermakers

Previous Ranking: 25

Record: 19-5 (8-3 Big Ten)

Purdue climbed up a couple spots in the Big Ten after beating Northwestern at home and beating Maryland in a thrilling road win. The Boilermakers seek to remain hot at the Indiana Hoosiers.

Caleb Swanigan is easily the top forward in America after putting up 26 and 10 against the Terrapins, but he had help from both Carsen Edwards and Dakota Mathias. Purdue’s schedule is very favorable down the stretch as they are looking to grab a high seed in the Big Ten and NCAA Tournament.
