The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers take on the No. 11 NC State Wolfpack in the Final Four on Saturday, April 6. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:09 p.m. ET from State Farm Stadium, and the biggest show will be taking place under the rim. All eyes will be on the most talked-about big men of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, NC State’s DJ Burns and Purdue’s Zach Edey. Who will win the battle in the paint?
DraftKings Sportsbook doesn’t currently have any head-to-head bets for the two big men, who stand at 6-foot-9 and 275 pounds (Burns) and 7-foot-4 and 300 pounds (Edey).
