The Arizona Wildcats and the Purdue Boilermakers will face off in the Elite Eight tomorrow night with a trip to the Final Four on the line. It will take a game like Purdue had against Michigan, another team that no one thought Purdue could beat. We did a Q&A previously when these two teams met in Indianapolis two seasons ago when Arizona was #1 and Purdue was #3. Arizona has consistently been one of the best if not the best team all season long. Considering the experience Purdue has, with three starters from the 2024 championship game team around, I’d assume it had to do with those guys tapping into that.
