WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue’s championship-or-bust season is officially on life support.
For a third time this season, the Boilermakers lost on their usually vaunted home court, this time to a Michigan team that thoroughly outplayed the Boilers for 40 minutes. A fourth league loss essentially eliminates Purdue from Big Ten title contention. Watching the way the Boilermakers stacked up with the No. 1 team in the country Tuesday makes it increasingly difficult to believe No. 7 Purdue has a real chance of six wins in a row come NCAA tournament time.
