Purdue was awarded the No. 10 seed in the Pullman Regional, and is 4-9-0 against teams in the field. Purdue is one of six Big Ten teams to advance to regionals, joined by Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Ohio State and Northwestern.
Making History in the NCAAs • Purdue has advanced to its sixth straight NCAA Regional competition, the second-longest streak in school history. Purdue made 19 straight NCAA appearances from 1949-67, for its longest streak. • Head coach Rob Bradley has taken Purdue to NCAA Regionals in all six years since his arrival before the 2013-14 season. Prior to his arrival, Purdue had six appearances in the previous 11 seasons.
The Underdog Role Fits Nicely • In four of the five previous years, Purdue has exceeded their seeding expectations at NCAA Regionals advancing to the NCAA Championships three times and losing in a playoff once in the process. Purdue hopes to fit the underdog role again in the 2019 regional.
