Purdue continues to set the standard in the Big Ten. After Tuesday night's win over Rutgers, the Boilermakers won their 72nd conference game in a five-year stretch, setting a new league record. The previous high was 71 victories, set by Indiana from 1974-78.

The 72 wins dates back to the 2020-2021 season for the Boilermakers. They still have one more regular season game to go, playing Illinois on Friday. Purdue could potentially get to 73 wins in a five-year span.

Purdue broke the record in style, too, obliterating Rutgers 100-71 at Mackey Arena in the home finale. Senior Caleb Furst also leaves as the program's all-time winningest player, having been a part of 113 wins (and counting) for the Boilers.

In the last five seasons, Purdue has won two Big Ten regular season titles. The Boilermakers have not finished worse that fourth place in the league standings in that stretch.

Here's the rundown of Purdue's Big Ten wins by season (only regular season games count, not Big Ten Tournament wins).

: Purdue coach Matt Painter was one of four college basketball coaches to receive the 2025 NABC Guardian of the Game Award.

: Caleb Furst has enjoyed a lot of success on the basketball court during his Purdue career, but that's not the only thing that defines his time in West Lafayette. 

: Purdue guard Braden Smith became the first player ever to score 1,250 points, dish out 700 assists and grab 500 rebounds by the end of his junior season. 

: Less than two minutes into Purdue's game against Rutgers, Myles Colvin checked himself in. Coach Matt Painter explained the hilarious situation.
