Despite previous disappointments, Purdue is determined to make a strong comeback this season.

Canadian Zach Edey has led No. 3-ranked Purdue to the top record in the Big Ten and has a chance to propel the Boilermakers to their first-ever NCAA tournament title this season. The 21-year-old centre out of Toronto has set a new career high with 24.2 points per game this season for Purdue , which leads all D1 NCAA athletes. His 11.7 rebounds per game ranked third in the country as well.

Purdue's 28-3 record won them their 27th Big Ten regular-season title, but this is a story Purdue fans know too well. The school finished 29-5 last season and emerged as the No. 1 seed out of the Eastern Division but were promptly eliminated by No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson in a historic upset. Purdue is the No. 1 seed in the Midwest region this year, and will open their tournament against either Montana State or Grambling, depending on the results of the First Four games
