Purdue's journey to the Final Four was nothing short of dramatic, with Zach Edey emerging as the star player who led the Boilermakers to victory over Tennessee with an outstanding performance of 40 points and 16 rebounds. Edey's dominance on the court outshone Dalton Knecht, who put up a valiant effort with 37 points but fell short against Purdue's powerhouse. The 7-foot-4 center's exceptional play not only secured the team's first Final Four appearance since 1980 but also captured the attention of basketball fans worldwide.

Following the Elite Eight win, Zach Edey didn't hold back, taking a playful jab at Tennessee coach Rick Barnes and highlighting how he was once overlooked despite his incredible talent. Edey's rise from a three-star recruit to a standout player in the NCAA tournament showcases his determination and skill, proving that hard work pays off in the end. His performance in the Midwest Regional final not only solidified Purdue's place in the Final Four but also established Edey as a force to be reckoned with in college basketball.

In a historic moment, Zach Edey tied NBA legend David Robinson's NCAA Tournament record for consecutive games with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, cementing his place in basketball history. Canadian-born Edey's career-high 40-point game not only propelled Purdue to victory but also marked a significant milestone in his basketball journey. With the NBA Draft on the horizon, Edey's stellar performance against Tennessee's Dalton Knecht has undoubtedly raised his stock as a top prospect for the upcoming draft.
