At the beginning of the season, Purdue was one of the teams expected to have a shot to cut down the nets at the end of the year. They played four games without Robbie Hummel and a few others where he was limited. Of those games, the Boilermakers ended up dropping three of them and it definitely cost them a higher seed in the tournament, as they are better than a nine-loss five-seed team. Washington had just eight losses on the season, and all eight came at the hands of teams playing in the NCAA Tournament so they have definitely struggled against the top teams in the country. This is a team that is predicated on offense, when they score 78+ they are 17-3, when they don't, they are 9-6. That will be a problem here as Purdue has allowed just one team all season to reach 78 points in games that didn't go to overtime, and that will be the difference here. I'll go with Purdue in this one.
