Purdue basketball is heading to their first Final Four in over 30 years thanks to the effort of star big man Zach Edey.
The end of last season for the Purdue Boilermakers basketball team was as heartbreaking as ever. They became the second team in NCAA history to lose a Round of 64 matchup as a No. 1 seed to a No. 16 seed. They were blindsided by the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights by a score of 63-58, bowing out of the 2023 NCAA Tournament in disgrace.However, they have more than redeemed themselves so far in 2024.
's Myron Medcalf detailed that Purdue confronted their poor 2023 end all year, helping them grow as a unit.'But the Boilermakers never ran from that reality. They confronted it throughout the season, knowing they'd never convert the naysayers into believers without a deep run in the NCAA tournament.'Purdue may have some history on their side as the only other team to lose as a No. 1 seed to a No. 16 seed, ending up winning the title the following year.
