## Resource

ESPN’s way-too-early rankings left Purdue shockingly outside the top 25 — a surprise for a team that just reached the Elite Eight — but don’t panic: Matt Painter’s program doesn’t rebuild, it reloads. Losing four key starters and major offensive pieces, Purdue still retains 10 players from last year, including only one transfer. With C.J. Cox as the lone returning starter, the question is whether the core can step up — and newcomers like Gicarri Harris and Daniel Jacobsen will need to fill big roles. While the preseason buzz is muted, Purdue’s history of resilience suggests they’re ready to prove ESPN wrong — and maybe even use this slight as fuel to dominate again.
