Purdue’s Zach Edey has been sensational for the Boilermakers all season long. The senior center enters the 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket averaging 24.4 points per game, which leads the nation. Edey, who is also averaging a whopping 11.7 rebounds per game, will look to lead Purdue to its first national championship in school history.

Kansas, Tennessee, Creighton and Gonzaga are among the teams standing in Purdue’s way in the 2024 March Madness bracket. Will the Boilermakers continue their torrid run and advance to the Final Four, or will the Boilermakers crash out early in the NCAA Tournament 2024?

Three 2024 March Madness bracket games to watch
One of the most intriguing 2024 March Madness matchups to watch: No. 5 San Diego State versus No. 12 UAB. Last year’s Aztecs team made it all the way to the National Championship Game before falling to UConn also as a No. 5 seed. The 2024 version fell short in the Mountain West Tournament Championship Game to New Mexico, but enters the NCAA Tournament looking to make a surprising run once again. The Blazers won the AAC Tournament Championship with a resounding 85-69 win over Temple and are on a five game winning streak heading into this matchup.
Another 2024 March Madness matchup to keep an eye on is No. 8 Florida Atlantic vs. No. 9 Northwestern in the East Region. Johnell Davis draws the majority of headlines for FAU, but Vladislav Golden has been effective for the Owls this season. The 7-foot-1 center enters the NCAA Tournament 2024 averaging 15.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He’s also knocking down 67% of his field goals this season, which ranks third in college basketball. Meanwhile, Northwestern’s Boo Buie is one of the most experienced and talented guards in the country. Buie is scoring 19.2 points per game and will try to dissect an FAU defense that ranked 109th in adjusted defensive efficiency this season.
Another 2024 March Madness matchup to watch out for: No. 4 seed Auburn will battle No. 13 seed Yale in the East Region. The Tigers feature one of the nation’s most explosive offenses. Auburn is scoring 83.3 points per game this season, which ranks 13th in the country. Johni Broome leads the Tigers in several important statistical categories, including points (16.2), rebounds (8.4) and blocks (2.3) per game. Yale, however, is giving up just 66.6 points per game. The Bulldogs have won at least 19 games the last five years, making the NCAA Tournament three times during that span. You can see the model’s 2024 NCAA bracket picks here.
