Purdue had a remarkable run during the 2023-24 season. The Boilermakers were led by two-time National Player of the Year Zach Edey in the post. Matt Painter's squad also had tremendous production from Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, Lance Jones, Mason Gillis, Trey Kaufman-Renn and others throughout the course of the year.
The Boilers concluded the 2023-24 campaign with a 34-5 record, winning a second consecutive Big Ten regular season title. They secured the program's first trip to the Final Four with a thrilling 72-66 victory over Tennessee in the Elite Eight.
Purdue then defeated North Carolina State 63-50 in the Final Four to advance to the National Championship Game for the first time since 1969. The Boilermakers fell one win shy of winning a title, falling 75-60 to UConn.
It was an incredible year for Purdue basketball, one that fans will remember for a long time. This will be a cool opportunity to relive one of the greatest seasons in program history.
