Led by two-time National Player of the Year Zach Edey, Purdue finished last season with a 34-5 record and reached the National Championship Game for the first time since 1969. It was also the program's first trip to the Final Four since 1980.
Three starters from last year's team return: Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn. The Boilermakers also return Caleb Furst, Myles Colvin and Cam Heide from last year's squad.
It was the first of many memorable moments inside Mackey Arena this year.
