Purdue Boilermakers Basketball

Purdue University’s inaugural season of collegiate basketball was the 1896-97 season giving the school approximately 125 years of basketball tradition. Purdue was one of the first members of the Big Ten Conference, joining in 1896, and they have the record for Big Ten regular season championships with 24.

The men’s basketball team has played their home games at Mackey Arena since 1967 and the women’s team started thereafter its inception as an intercollegiate sport in 1975.

Mackey Arena took the place of Lambert Fieldhouse and it seats up to 14,804. Mackey Arena is known as one of the loudest in the nation because of its aluminum roof. In 1997 the arena’s floor was renamed “Keady Court” in honor of Gene Keady, one of the best coaches in the school’s history.

Purdue’s biggest rivalry is with their in-state counterpart the Indiana Hoosiers. Purdue’s home of West Lafayette, IN is about a two-hour drive from Bloomington, the home of the Hoosiers, and this rivalry is heated. In fact, behind Duke-UNC and KentuckyLouisville, there may not be a bigger, more important college basketball rivalry than the one between Purdue and Indiana. Purdue leads the series on the men’s side 124-89.

Purdue Men’s Basketball

Purdue has never won an NCAA basketball national championship, but they have been to numerous NCAA tournaments, two Final Fours, and they played for the title in 1969. The school won the Helms Athletic Foundation National Championship in 1932 before the establishment of the NCAA.

Their 2019 team reached the Elite Eight before falling to the Virginia Cavaliers. Purdue has had two No. 1 overall picks in the NBA draft with Joe Barry Carroll in 1980 and Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson in 1994.

Purdue has had some incredible coaches over the years including Ward Lambert from 1917-1946, Gene Keady from 1980-2005, and their current coach Matt Painter who has been there since 2005.

The 2023-24 Boilermakers have one of the best players in the nation in star center Zach Edey who leads the team in scoring, rebounds, and blocked shots while guards Braden Smith, Lance Jones and Fletcher Loyer are the next three leading scorers. Smith also leads with assists and steals. Mason Gillis and Caleb Furst round out the starting five while Ethan Morton is their top six-man.
