Their head coach was Matt Painter, who was in his 19th season with the Boilermakers. The Boilermakers played their home games at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana as members of the Big Ten Conference.

With their win over Michigan State on March 2, 2024, Purdue clinched a share of their 26th Big Ten regular season championship.[1] Three days later, the Boilermakers clinched the Big Ten title outright for the second consecutive year with their victory over Illinois.[2] The team finished the season 34–5, 17–3 in Big Ten play. They defeated Michigan State in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament before losing to Wisconsin in the semifinals. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest region. It marked the second consecutive year as a No. 1 seed.[3] They defeated Grambling State and Utah State to break the school record of most wins in a season.[4] They defeated Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen and defeated Tennessee in the Elite Eight to return to the Final Four for the first time since 1980. In the Final Four, they defeated NC State to advance to the National Championship game, their first since 1969, where they lost to No. 1 overall seed UConn.

The season saw several new program records. In addition to most wins in a season, Purdue set school records in points (3,211), rebound margin (+11.2), assists (720), assist / turnover ratio (1.63), field goals made (1,109), free throws made (675), and free throws attempted (938).[5] Senior Zach Edey became the first Purdue player to win multiple Consensus National Player of the Year awards, and passed Purdue legends Joe Barry Carroll in rebounding (1,321) and Rick Mount in scoring (2,516) to become Purdue's all-time leader in both categories.[6][7] Sophomore Braden Smith additionally set a Purdue and Big Ten single-season record for assists (292).[8]

Previous season

[edit]

The Boilermakers finished the 2022–23 season 29–6, 15–5 in Big Ten play. With Northwestern's loss to Maryland on February 26, 2023, Purdue clinched a share of the Big Ten regular season championship.[9] With Michigan's loss to Illinois on March 2, Purdue clinched the outright regular season championship, its first outright championship since 2017.[10] The championship marked the school's 25th, the most in Big Ten history.[11] In the Big Ten tournament, they defeated Rutgers, Ohio State, and Penn State to win the tournament championship, the school's second. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed in the East region. In the first round of the tournament they were upset by Farleigh Dickinson, becoming the second men's No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed ever, following Virginia's 2018 loss to UMBC.[12]
