Purdue’s senior class has won at least 21 games each of the last four seasons and has played in the NCAA Tournament every year. It has also won two B1G regular season titles.
Last year, the Boilermakers set a program record by finishing the year 30-7, hitting the 30-win mark for the first time in history.
This season, Purdue is 25-9 and claimed a share of the B1G regular season title. The Boilermakers have a chance to increase the win total to 109 on Thursday as they take on Tennessee with a trip to the Elite Eight hanging in the balance.
