NCAA Tournament Midwest Region analysis: Can Purdue bounce back from last year’s embarrassing upset?

The Midwest Regional of the 2024 NCAA Tournament features the Big 10 regular season champion , the SEC regular season champion , as well as and several teams looking to pull an upset in March Madness. Purdue again is a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. After last year’s loss to No. 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson, the Boilermakers want to re-write their tournament history. They’re led by last year’s NCAA Player of the Year and this year’s Big Ten Player of the Year .

TCU also struggles with turnovers when it plays too fast and doesn’t shoot enough 3-pointers to make up deficits. Outlook: TCU was one of the last at-large bids, a reflection of its good-not-great profile. It was awesome at home — ask Houston — and just OK on the road. The Horned Frogs were 7-7 in games decided by eight points or less and 4-7 against ranked teams. They can run with anyone, but their offensive scoring droughts prevent them from being elite.
