Purdue's Upset Loss to No. 21 Indiana Has Men's CBB Fans Wondering Who Will Be No. 1

The top-ranked Purdue men's basketball team fell 79-74 to No. 21 Indiana on Saturday, further symbolizing a parity-fueled, wide-open season that does not feature a dominant team.

Purdue center and consensus player of the year candidate Zach Edey did his best to keep the Boilermakers in this one with 33 points on 15-of-19 shooting, 18 rebounds and three blocks, but the rest of the team struggled offensively.

For Indiana, Trayce Jackson-Davis led the way with 25 points, seven rebounds and five blocks. Jalen Hood-Schifino added 16 points.

The national championship appears up for grabs, and it's hard to say who the best team is right now.

The door is open for No. 3 Houston to take the No. 1 ranking if it beats Temple on Sunday, but that's no given, as the Owls beat the Cougars 56-55 on Jan. 22 and will host them in Philadelphia. Plus, the 22-2 Boilermakers could keep hold of the top spot.

A host of other teams can make cases to be No. 1 as the regular season nears its close in a month, but the Associated Press' Top 10 took some hits this week.

No. 2 Tennessee lost Wednesday at unranked Florida, 67-54. On Saturday, No. 6 Virginia lost at unranked Virginia Tech 74-68 and No. 8 Kansas got trounced at No. 13 Iowa State 68-53.

Purdue's loss made everything murkier, leaving fans wondering and debating about who is No. 1 and whether there is even a top team.

As for the Boilermakers, they will look to bounce back Thursday at home versus Iowa.
