Unveiling Shocking Stats from the Round of 64 & 32 That Could Change Everything
7
With Purdue’s victory against Miami, Purdue has now made the Sweet 16 in 7 of the last 9 NCAA Tournaments. That’s something no other program in the country can lay claim to and is a testament to the consistently high level Matt Painter has elevated the program to. Yes, Purdue has history with some bad losses in the NCAA Tourney but those have been pushed to the side as Painter has clearly learned from those hard lessons.
Next season will be a test for the Boilers with the guys they have leaving but I’m not sure there is anyone else in the country you trust more as a head coach to get the most out of a team and make a run in March right now.
500
Matt Painter has been the example of consistency since he became the head coach at Purdue for the 2005-2006 season. In his 21 seasons, Purdue has averaged 23.8 wins per season and that gives Painter 500 victories in that time span. He is now the 11th fastest coach to achieve 500 victories at one school joining Bill Self (Kansas-17 Seasons), Mark Few (Gonzaga-18 Seasons), Jerry Tarkanian (UNLV-19 Seasons), Lute Olson (Arizona-20 Seasons), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse-21 Seasons), Tom Izzo (Michigan State-21 Seasons), Jim Calhoun (UConn-21 Seasons), Denny Crum (Louisville-21 Seasons), John Thompson (Georgetown-21 Seasons), Jay Wright (Villanova-21 Seasons).
