The Purdue Boilermakers basketball team is a college basketball program that competes in NCAA Division I and the Big Ten Conference. Purdue basketball is rich in tradition and history, holding the record for wins in Big Ten Championships (21), along with being the only program in the conference to boast winning records versus every other school in the Big Ten[1]. The Boilermakers won their only national championship in 1932, awarded by the Helms Athletic Foundation prior to the establishment of the NCAA Tournament. The Boilermakers share a classic rivalry with the Indiana Hoosiers, of which Purdue holds a 108–84 series lead.

History

1896–1932

The history of Purdue basketball dates back to 1896 with their first game against the Lafayette YMCA[1]. Ten years later the Boilermakers began play in the Big Ten Conference, with its first championship coming just five years later. In 1917 Ward "Piggy" Lambert was named head coach of the Boilermakers. What followed was one of the most dominant eras of Purdue Basketball on the conference and national level. In 28-plus seasons in direction of Purdue basketball, Lambert mentored 16 All-Americans and 31 First Team All-Big Ten selections. Lambert compiled a career record of 371–152, a .709 winning percentage. His 228 wins in Big Ten play have been bested by only Indiana's Bob Knight and former Purdue head coach Gene Keady[1]. Lambert won an unprecedented 11 Big Ten Championships (tied with Knight) and was given one Helms Title in 1932.

1932–1980

Over the next few decades the Boilermakers would enjoy moderate success, culminating with an appearance in the 1969 NCAA Finals Game under coach George King, where they would fall to former Purdue great John Wooden's UCLA Bruins. Former Los Angeles Lakers coach/general manager Fred Schaus, who also spent time at West Virginia as their head coach, took over the program after King's leave. Schaus led the Boilermakers to the 1974 NIT Championship, becoming the first Big Ten team to capture the NIT title. In 1979, head coach Lee Rose led them to the NIT Finals and in the following season, he led them to an NCAA Final Four in his second and last season at Purdue, which also came against UCLA.

1980–2005

In 1980, Gene Keady, the head coach at Western Kentucky, was named the new head coach of the Boilermakers. Over the next 25 years, Keady led the Boilermakers to six Big Ten Championships, 17 NCAA Tournament appearances and five Sweet Sixteen appearances. In December 1997, Keady became Purdue's all-time winningest head coach, surpassing Lambert with his 372nd win. It was at this time Keady's namesake was bestowed on the floor of Mackey Arena. Many of Keady's former assistant coaches throughout the years have gone on to enjoy success as head coaches, included in the "Gene Keady coaching tree", is current Purdue head coach Matt Painter, former UCLA head coach Steve Lavin, Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings, Illinois head coach Bruce Weber, and Missouri State head coach Cuonzo Martin. It was widely assumed that upon Keady's retirement, Weber would assume the role as the head coach of Purdue basketball. However, he accepted head coaching positions at Southern Illinois and Illinois prior to Keady's retirement.

2005–present

As the Keady era came to a close in 2005, the Matt Painter era began. Painter played for Keady during the early 90's, with Keady naming him captain in his senior year in 1993. In 2004, Painter was hired as a planned replacement for Coach Keady. After a disappointing first season marred with injuries, Painter re-energized Purdue basketball in the summer of 2006 by signing the top high school class in the Big Ten and one of the top five nationally. The program's good fortunes continued well into the 2006–07 season with the Boilermakers finishing 4th with a 9–7 Big 10 conference record, 22–12 overall, with Purdue's first invite to the 2007 NCAA Tournament, their first since 2003. Matt Painter and his "Baby Boilers" finished the 2007–08 season with a 25–9 record and advanced to the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Purdue finished the 2008–09 season with an 11–7 Big Ten record and 27–10 overall after winning the program's first Big Ten Tournament championship, continuing onto a third straight NCAA appearance and Purdue's first Sweet Sixteen in 9 seasons. Dating back to the 1993-94 season, the Boilers have made 11 consecutive second round appearances.
