1901–02 Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball team
American college basketball season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1901â02 Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball team compiled a 10â3 record, led by returning team captain Wallace Reimann.[1][2] The team averaged 39 points per game and held their opponents to 18.9 points per game. By sweeping their Indiana opponents of Butler, Indiana, and Indiana State Normal, they claimed the state championship for the second year in a row. Two particular features of this season were an extended road trip through the South, and a game against Yale. Starting forward Harry Cook died mid-season on February 27, 1902.[3]
