Zach Edey goes big and sends Purdue to first Final Four

DETROIT — Matt Painter raised his hand triumphantly as he cut the net at Little Caesars Arena after Purdue’s 72-66 victory over Tennessee secured their spot in the Final Four. Reflecting on the past year, Painter remembered the disappointment of losing to Fairleigh Dickinson as a 16-seed, but his team used that defeat as motivation to prove doubters wrong throughout the season.

They reached this stage with a win – a win that a Purdue staff member described as “cathartic” – following senior center Zach Edey’s impressive performance. Edey (40 points, 16 rebounds in 39 minutes) and Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht (37 points, 6-for-12 from the 3-point line), both leading candidates for major national player of the year awards, delivered an impressive display on Sunday. Edey and Knecht became the third pair of opposing players to each score 35 points or more in the Elite Eight or later, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Purdue, known as the best 3-point shooting team in the nation, ended up shooting 3-for-15 from beyond the arc and made 21 of their 33 free throw attempts. Tennessee made 42% of their 3-point shots but only 39% of their total field goal attempts.
