CBS analyst: Purdue basketball will be upset in the first round of March Madness
Purdue basketball is going out early in the NCAA Tournament, according to CBS analyst Seth Davis.
Moments after the bracket revealed that the No. 4 seed Boilermakers would play High Point on Thursday in Providence, Rhode Island, Davis predicted a High Point victory.
Not only that, he called for the Panthers to reach the Sweet 16.
High Point (29-5) won the Big South Conference Tournament championship and is on a 14-game winning streak. The Panthers last lost on Jan. 16 to Longwood.
Kezza Giffa (14.8 points), D'Maurian Williams (13.5, 39.8% 3-pointers) and Kimani Hamilton (13.4 points) lead the Panthers.
Purdue was the national runner-up in 2024. The year before, the Boilermakers lost to Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round as a No. 1 seed. So who knows how they will come out on Thursday?
