Purdue Boilermakers Tickets

You don’t often hear Matt Painter’s name mentioned as an elite college basketball coach, but the head coach is starting to make a name for himself at Purdue and it likely won’t be long before he enjoys that elite coach status. When Painter took over for legendary head coach Gene Keady in ‘06, some people were whispering he wasn’t the man for the job after going 9-19 in his first season. But Painter turned it around the following seasons with a solid 22-12 record, and he’s won at least 25 games in each of the four seasons since then, including two trips to the Sweet Sixteen. If you want to see how far they go this season, get your Purdue basketball tickets from GoTickets.

Last season’s Purdue Boilermakers schedule got off to a great start as the Boilermakers went 15-1 and jumped up to #8 in the polls. After a slight stumble with two road losses, Purdue found their stride again with big wins at home against #10 Wisconsin and #3 Ohio State. However the team lost some steam at the end of the season with a surprising road loss at Iowa and then a quick exit from both the Big Ten Conference Tournament and NCAA Tournament. But with a strong Purdue Boilermakers basketball roster returning this season, this team should be a serious threat to make a deep run in the Big Dance, especially if they can avoid the injury bug that has bitten them in recent seasons and hurt their chances to go all the way. At GoTickets, you can get Purdue basketball tickets for every game all season long.

Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana, might be nearly 45 years old, but you would never know it after an extensive $100 million renovation in recent years. One thing that did not change is the incredible noise inside the arena, thanks in part to the aluminum dome roof, and the capacity crowd of 14,123 fans who pack it for almost every game. If you want to be one of them, then buy your Purdue Boilermakers basketball tickets now.
