Purdue absences!

Zach Edey, player to watch!
The Purdue center is the top figure of the Boilmakers. He finished the season as the team's offensive leader, averaging 25.0 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. The Purdue star finished the previous season as the Big Ten Conference MVP and became the leading scorer in Purdue history.

What is most expected from the Purdue star is a healthy finish full of great plays in the paint to generate a very fun game to watch.
How does Purdue arrive?
Purdue's team continues its journey in March Madness and is looking for its first collegiate title. They became the best-ranked team in the Midwest region with a record of 29 wins and 4 losses. The Boilmakers arrive after a regular season in which they dominated their region without difficulty, managing to be placed as the best team in their region for the third consecutive year but with the uncertainty of leaving behind the previous year where they were eliminated in the first round. The team has a great squad that shows improvements in every game, among which the names of Zach Edey, Branden Smith, Lance Jones, Fletcher Loyer and Mason Gillis stand out as a fundamental part of the team. During the first round they left out Grambling and avoided being eliminated in the first round, by a score of 78 to 50, in the second round the team eliminated Utah State by a score of 106 to 67, earning their ticket to the Sweet 16, in this instance The team eliminated Gonzaga, the fifth best team in the region and advanced to the Elite 8, once there, they eliminated Tennessee, the second best team in the same region by a score of 72 to 66. Those from Purdue have achieved show their best level and want to continue their path towards their first university title, this is their third Final Four and the last time they advanced to the next round was in 1969.
NC State absences!

DJ Burns Jr., player to watch!
The NC State guard is going at a good pace with his average of 13.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, becoming one of the team's leading lights in the attack. DJ is one of the most important pieces of the NC State and has been key for the Wolfpack to continue advancing in the rounds with great games of more than 20 points against North Carolina, Duke and Texas Tech, which has led him to attract attention in the championship. He was named MVP of the ACC Conference as he won his second division title for The Wolfpack. Now, he will seek to continue helping Cinderella continue dancing and reach the NCAA Grand Final.
How does NC State get there?
The North Carolina team continues this season after continuing to surprise in March Madness and becoming the Cinderella of the tournament. The Wolfpack arrives after a regular season in which they ended up being placed as the eleventh team in the NCAA South Region with a record of 22 wins and 14 losses. The core of the team has players who have shown a high level game by game, among these the names of DJ Horne, DJ Burns Jr., Casey Morsell, Jayden Taylor and Mohamed Diarra stand out as a fundamental part of the team. Although they were not considered one of the best teams in their region, they have surprised each other game by game, leaving out great teams. In the first round they knocked out Texas Tech, sixth in the region, by a score of 80 to 67, in the second round the team knocked out Oakland by a score of 79 to 73, earning their ticket to the Sweet 16, in this instance the team eliminated Marquette, the second best team in the region and advancing to the Elite 8, once there, they dominated Duke, the fourth best in the region by a score of 76 to 64. The Wolfpack has managed to be the âCinderellaâ of the competition and are back in this instance, which they have not reached since 1983, and will seek the third university title in their history.
