With Northwestern's loss to Maryland on February 26, 2023, Purdue clinched a share of the Big Ten regular season championship.[1] With Michigan's loss to Illinois on March 2, Purdue clinched the outright regular season championship, its first outright championship since 2017.[2] The championship marked the school's 25th, the most in Big Ten history.[3] In the Big Ten tournament, they defeated Rutgers, Ohio State, and Penn State to win the tournament championship, the school's second. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed in the East region. In the first round of the tournament they were upset by Farleigh Dickinson, becoming the second men's No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed ever, following Virginia's 2018 loss to UMBC.[4]
The Boilermakers finished the 2021–22 season 29–8, 14–6 in Big Ten play to finish in third place.[5] They defeated Penn State and Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament to advance to the championship game where they lost to Iowa.[6] They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 3 seed in the East region. There they defeated Yale and Texas to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. In the Sweet Sixteen, they were upset by No. 15-seeded Saint Peter's.[7]
