Zach Edey, Purdue's star center, is preparing for his final home game at Mackey Arena. Edey is a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year Award along with other top players like PJ Hall, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Hunter Dickinson, and Armando Bacot. Edey's dominance in college basketball has positioned him to potentially win the Naismith Men's College Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season. Purdue is considered a strong contender for the National Championship and Final Four, with odds at +700 and +160 respectively.
