Purdue Gains Momentum in Coaches Poll Rankings

Purdue has surged back into the top five of the Coaches Poll, landing at No. 5 after an impressive 88-60 victory over Auburn, as reported by CBS Sports. This win marks Purdue's third consecutive victory by over 20 points since their defeat to Iowa State on December 6, which had previously caused them to drop from the top ranking.

With a current record of 11-1, the Boilermakers are clearly positioning themselves as serious contenders in men's college basketball for the season, especially in light of Duke's recent upset loss to Texas Tech, which dropped them to No. 6.

Meanwhile, according to NCAA.com, Purdue's recent performance has been a significant part of their rise, indicating strong momentum as they head into the holiday season and beyond.
