The sporting world seems to work in sequences and that is
why Purdue is due for a national championship.
There are two reasons why Purdue will win the national
championship.
The last 4 champions have been UCONN, Duke, Villanova and
North Carolina. The 2014 Champion was the (31-8) Huskies, 2015 was Duke (34-4),
2016 saw the (34-5) Villanova Wildcats and last year saw the (32-7) North
Carolina Tar Heels lift the championship.
Notice anything in that sequence? 8,4,5,7 or 4,5,7,8? The
only number missing in that sequence is 6. The last four NCAA champions have
had a total of 8,4,5,7 losses respectively. This means the 2018 champion will
be a 6-loss team.
There are other 6-loss teams like South Dakota State and
Louisiana but Purdue is the only 6 loss team ranked in the AP Top 25, which
eliminates the other 6 loss teams.
The second reason is that Purdue lost in the Big Ten
Championship Game. Yeah, Purdue is going to win the NCAA tournament because
they lost their conference championship. Neither of the last 4 champions in the
sequence won their conference tournament. And to further that point the loss
came in the conference final for UCONN, semifinal for Duke, final for
Villanova, semi-final for North Carolina and final for Purdue.
Final-semifinal-final-semifinal-final.
This could all be completely wrong but at the same time there is
no sure way to predict the college basketball champion. So, why not the Purdue
Boilermakers, the numbers suggest so . . . well sort of.
