Purdue baseball sits on NCAA Tournament bubble with 'difficult climb' to regional berth
The Purdue Boilermakers are in the NCAA Tournament conversation. Projections show they have room to improve with their remaining schedule.
Purdue baseball is battling for an NCAA Tournament berth but faces an uphill climb. The Boilermakers (32-15, 15-9 Big Ten ) are sixth in the conference standings through May 5, with three games each remaining against Indiana (21-27, 7-17) and Iowa (29-18, 12-12) and one against Ball State (21-26). Most college baseball bracketologists see five Big Ten teams making the 64-team field, with Purdue narrowly missing the event that finishes with the College World Series , which begins June 12 in Omaha, Nebraska.
