Coming off the most wins in a four-year span in school history with 102 (2007–2010), Matt Painter and his Boiler squad returned two All-American candidates (JaJuan Johnson, E’Twaun Moore), its primary point guard (Lewis Jackson), and an All-Conference freshman (Kelsey Barlow). ESPN’s Andy Katz selected Purdue as the preseason No. 1-ranked team for the 2011 season, while Fox Sports selected them as the No. 4 favorite. These predictions came premature as fellow All-American candidate, Robbie Hummel, re-tore his ACL during practice, preventing him from playing his senior season. Joining the sidelines was Painter’s latest addition to his bench staff, Mike Jackson, a former Michigan assistant coach. In preseason play, Painter’s team began the season ranked as high as eighth in the nation and fell as low as 22nd following a loss to Richmond in the Chicago Invitational finals. Painter’s Boilers went undefeated at home on the season for the first time in 42 years (16–0). They tied series with ranked Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the top-ranked team in the nation, Ohio State. No. 6 Purdue finished second in the Big Ten Conference with a 14–4 record, while finishing the regular season 26–8 overall. At the conclusion of the regular season, Painter was named Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year for the third time in four seasons. Painter received his highest NCAA Tournament seeding as a coach, with No. 13-ranked Purdue being named a No. 3 seed in the Tournament.
