Purdue kept its March Madness dream alive while snuffing out North Carolina State’s, getting 20 points and 12 rebounds from Zach Edey in a 63-50 victory that placed the Boilermakers a win from their first NCAA title.
New Insider Deals are here, and you’re going to love them!Purdue center Zach Edey , right, backs down NC State forward Ben Middlebrooks during the second half of the NCAA college basketball game at the Final Four, Saturday, April 6, 2024, in Glendale, Ariz.
Some might call this run by top-seeded Purdue unlikely, too. The program is in the Final Four for the first time since 1980, only one season after becoming the second top seed to fall in the first round. Edey and coach Matt Painter’s team have swatted away every challenge thus far. They did it this time despite a three-point night from their second-leading scorer, Braden Smith, who shot 1 for 9 .
It made for some ugly hoops. At one stretch early in the second half, the teams missed 10 straight shots between them.For all Smith’s struggles, he put the final dagger in N.C. State’s season.
