A handful of former Boilermakers are still playing college basketball. Over the past two seasons, former Purdue players Ethan Morton, Mason Gillis, Chase Martin and Brandon Newman all decided to transfer out and finish their careers elsewhere.
Only 36.9 seconds remained on the clock when Matt Painter sent senior guard Chase Martin into the National Championship Game. Purdue lost to UConn 75-60, coming up one win short of bringing an NCAA trophy home to West Lafayette.
After a four-year run at Purdue, Chase Martin has decided to spend his final season of college eligibility playing for his father and Boilermaker legend, Cuonzo Martin, at Missouri State.
