Purdue Basketball’s Final Four Run Motivating for Ryan Walters, Football Program
Purdue football coach Ryan Walters is finding motivation in the success of the Boilermakers’ basketball program. After the team clinched a spot in the Final Four, Walters began using it as inspiration, saying, “If basketball can do it, why can’t we do it?”
For Purdue’s men’s basketball team, the journey back to the Final Four was a long one. The program went through a number of highs and lows before finally making its way back to college basketball’s premier event this season. Boilermakers football coach Ryan Walters hopes the success on the hardwood can be a motivating factor for his team moving forward.
Purdue’s football team is currently in the middle of spring practices, completing the seventh on Tuesday. Walters was asked about the run put together by Matt Painter and the Boiler basketball team — reaching the Final Four for the first time since 1980.
