Zach Edey's incredible performance in the national championship game left fans in awe as he scored 37 points, but it wasn't enough for Purdue against UConn. What does the future hold for this basketball giant?

Zach Edey was the towering force driving Purdue's quest for glory throughout the season.

The 7-foot-4 center's legacy extended beyond his on-court dominance, leaving a Zach Edey-shaped hole in Purdue's future prospects.

In his final college game, Edey showcased his skills once again, leading Purdue in a valiant effort that fell just short of clinching the national title.
