Zach Edey, a standout player for Purdue's basketball team, had his jersey retired after a successful senior day game. Despite a minor ankle scare during the game, Edey delivered a strong performance. Purdue honored him by hanging his jersey number in the rafters at Mackey Arena. In a surprise announcement, his jersey was retired, marking a significant moment for the player and the team. Edey's impact on the team was evident as he played a key role in Purdue's victories and was recognized for his contributions.
