Purdue's basketball team has achieved a significant feat by beating No. 11 Gonzaga, No. 7 Tennessee, and No. 4 Marquette in consecutive days, securing their position as the new No. 1 team in college basketball. They are the first team since 2010-11 UConn to achieve this, and their recent performance has been attributed to the return of Zach Edey, Braden Smith's improvement, and the addition of three athletic marvels to the team. Purdue's success has sparked discussions about their deserving position as the No. 1 team in college basketball and their potential within the Big Ten conference.

Purdue definitely deserves to be the No. 1 team in college basketball right now. They did early last year, too. Not sure who in the Big Ten can beat Zach Edey and company.
