Purdue basketball fans are ready to go after Zach Edey announces return
Zach Edey makes his decision, and Purdue basketball fans rejoice.
The 2022-23 National Player of the Year tweeted Wednesday night that he would "run it back" with the Boilermakers for next season.
He averaged 22.3 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots in a season that saw Purdue ranked No. 1 in the nation for several weeks. The Boilers' season ended with a loss to Fairleigh Dickinson in the NCAA Tournament, the second time a No. 16 seed has beaten a No. 1.
Center of attention: Purdue basketball attendance ranks in top 10 nationally
Purdue has only lost Brandon Newman from that roster and is bringing in more talent in redshirts Cam Heide and William Berg, freshman Myles Colvin and transfer Lance Jones.
Boilermakers fans are excited about the possibilities.
The jersey is back on the rack.
