50 in 50 series: No. 20 Purdue (tie)

T-20. Purdue (294 points)

Positives: Missed the NCAA tourney just twice from 1983-2000; nine regular-season conference titles; six consensus first-team All-Americans (eight total); six top-10 picks.

Negatives: Lost nine points due to sanctions and vacated wins; advanced past Sweet 16 just three times since 1969; hasn't made it to the Final Four since 1980.

Fun fact: Purdue has won at least one game in its past 13 NCAA tournament appearances, the longest active streak in Division I.
