Zach Edey, at least for now, has his defining moment.
Purdue's star big man delivered in the biggest moment for his team and led the Boilermakers to a 72-66 victory over second-seeded Tennessee in Sunday's Elite Eight battle in the 2024 NCAA men's tournament.
The Boilermakers, who are the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region, advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1980 and continued their run toward a potential national title the year after a stunning first-round loss to No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson.
As for the Volunteers, they fell just one win short of their first Final Four in program history despite Dalton Knecht posting 37 points and outscoring the rest of his team combined.
