NEWS: Omer Mayer will return to Purdue next season, his agency CAA Basketball tells DraftExpress.
After a strong freshman season, the 19-year-old Israeli point guard will be asked to take the next step, stepping into the void left by Braden Smith's graduation.
WILD stat from ESPN Research ..
Illinois' fewest points in a game over the last three seasons:
52 points: 2024 Elite Eight vs. UConn
61 points: Nov. 28, 2025 vs. UConn
62 points: 2026 Final Four vs. UConn
I’ve dreamed my entire life about watching a Final 4 live! I just got here and got to my seat, and based on the view I’ll have to keep dreaming. I can’t see shit up here
Shout out to Braden, Fletch and Trey.
Incredible seniors that bought into the Purdue way and gave us four incredible years of dedication, hardwork and entertainment.
One Era ends, the next one begins.

“…Just win, baby. Every team that makes their way to the Final 4, survives a game like this, and I have to give it to Purdue… they toughed this one out…”
