Analyst Seth Davis Makes Bold High Point-Purdue Prediction in NCAA Tournament
CBS college basketball analyst Seth Davis is already picking a major upset for this year's NCAA Tournament, and it involves Purdue. He believes the Boilermakers will be eliminated in the first round of March Madness.
Purdue is a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region and will play No. 13 seed High Point in the opening round. Shortly after the matchup was announced, Davis predicted the Panthers would take down the Boilers,
"Alright, everybody, I've got my slingshot out," Davis said on the Selection Show. "Shock of the tournament, High Point takes down Purdue. High Point goes to the Sweet 16."
Last year, Purdue reached the NCAA Championship Game, falling to UConn. In 2023, the Boilermakers were the No. 1 seed and lost to No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson.
Purdue and High Point are scheduled to play on Thursday, March 20 at Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, R.I. A tipoff time and television network will be announced shortly.
