NCAA: Purdue seeks elusive Final Four berth

PURDUE is using its extraordinary size to push around opponents, dominate the boards and get to the free-throw line over and over as it seeks its first Final Four berth in over four decades.

The Boilermakers' frontcourt combination of 7-foot-4 Zach Edey and 6-foot-10 Trevion Williams causes matchup issues for just about any team in the country. Purdue has outrebounded its first two NCAA Tournament foes 83-61 and has outscored them 60-13 from the foul line.
