Purdue men's basketball roster: See the Boilermakers' roster for March Madness
The Purdue Boilermakers entered March Madness as a No. 1 seed for the second consecutive season, looking to redeem themselves from a shock loss to No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson one year ago.
The Boilermakers are led by 7-foot-4 star Zach Edey, who earlier this year won the Big Ten Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season.
Edey led the country in scoring with 24.6 points per game, averaged a double-double with 12.0 rebounds per game, and also ranked inside the top 20 nationally with 2.2 blocks per game.
Head coach Matt Painter has recruited extensively from inside the state of Indiana. In total, 11 of Purdue’s 17 players are from the Hoosier State, including a trio of players all from Fort Wayne.
