This Week In Purdue History
March 22, 1969 • It is hard to believe that the men's NCAA Tournament concluded about two weeks ear-
lier than it does now, but on this day 45 years ago, the Boilermakers were defeated by UCLA in the national
title game. The Bruins won 92-72 in the contest played at Louisville's
Freedom Hall.
March 26, 2001 • The Boilermakers punch their ticket to their third
Final Four appearance in eight years with a 88-78 win over Xavier in
Birmingham, Ala. Coach Kristy Curry's team had great scoring balance
from the starters as all five reached double figures, led by guard Kelly
Komara's 20 points.
March 23, 2009 • In one of her most impressive
victories as the Boilermaker head coach, Sharon Ver-
syp leads Purdue to an 85-72 win over No. 11 North
Carolina in the second round of the 2009 NCAA Tour-
nament. It was the highest-ranked foe Purdue has
beaten in the Big Dance in the Versyp Era.

With the departure of seniors KK Houser, Courtney

have to replace big numbers from this year's team.
By percentage, here is what the
trio contributed to
