Normally, the 12th-place league results won't have much hope for the playoffs, but due to home court advantages, Purdue may be able to return to the NCAA softball championship for the first time since 2009, and this is the third time. In her second season at West Lafayette coach Magnals Frezom Purdue's RPI of bubbles at 30-22 is 45. More importantly, Purdue attracted several frustrations and reached the semifinals of the Big Ten Championships.

A few weeks ago, Illinois' 3-0 seats allowed Purdue to earn its last place in this year's Big Ten Championships. This is a benefit as Boiler announced as the tournament host before the season begins as the league rotates the conference tournament around the league.

Purdue is now the top 12 seeds to the semifinals after the beating northwest 4-2 and 22 Ohio 14-6. Two weeks ago, the victory over the Buckeyes swept over Ohio State.

It's also a quality win over the NCAA team, as Ohio State is 43-12-1 and solid in the field.

Purdue University will play 8 seeds tonight Michigan 7:30 pm on BTN Oregon last night. After three innings, Purdue took advantage of five Buckeyes' mistakes, down from 4-0.

It's hard to say where Purdue University is now on the NCAA bubble. Yes, there are bracketing things like this, Purdue isn't around the bubble entering this week's bubble, but beating Northwest and Ohio State is the expected championship team win. The game against Michigan tonight is huge, as the Wolverines are likely one of Purdue’s teams fighting for the final spot. Their RPI is 43, while Purdue University is 45.

If Purdue wins tonight, it will face UCLA or Nebraska in tomorrow's finals and will automatically bid online. Purdue did play one game from Nebraska earlier this year in a game in Lincoln. Purdue was swept by UCLA, which ranked 10th in 48-9, but the last two games ended. Tan 2-1 and 7-5.

Tonight's victory will surely bring Purdue to an end, but is that enough?
