Purdue Boilermakers

The Purdue Boilermakers basketball team competes in NCAA Division I and is a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team plays at Mackey Arena (formally known as the Purdue Arena.) The team has been coached by Matt Painter since 2004. Painter, a former Boilermaker baller, is coming off the most wins in a four-year span in school history with 102 (2007-2010), and is expected to have another good year. In fact ESPN's Andy Katz has selected Purdue as the preseason #1 team for the 2010-2011 season, while Fox Sports has selected them as the #4 favorite. The team holds the record for most Big Ten Championships with 22 wins.
