The Purdue Boilermakers basketball team is a men's college basketball program that competes in NCAA Division I and is a founding member of the Big Ten Conference.
Purdue basketball has the most Big Ten regular season championships with 26 conference titles, and in 2024 became the first Big Ten program to be ranked as the #1 team in America for three consecutive seasons.[2][3] As of April 2024, Purdue also holds a winning record against all other Big Ten schools in head-to-head match ups.[4][5][6]
The Boilermakers have reached three NCAA Tournament Final Fours and two NCAA championship games, but have not won an NCAA Championship. The 1931–32 team was retroactively named a national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Porretta Power Poll.[7][8] Purdue has sent more than 30 players to the NBA, including two overall No. 1 picks in the NBA draft.
Purdue's main rival is the Indiana Hoosiers.
