Brayden Burries and the No. 1 seed Arizona Wildcats are heading to the Final Four of the 2026 NCAA Tournament after taking down Braden Smith and the No. 2 seed Purdue Boilermakers 79-64 in the Elite Eight. Now, with a spot in the national championship on the line, Arizona has a tough task ahead, facing Yaxel Lendeborg and the No. 1 seed Michigan Wolverines on Saturday.
Burries had a solid game in the East regional final against Purdue, tallying 14 points on 4-of-10 shooting, along with six rebounds and two assists. However, that stat line was below his usual production, as the freshman guard from San Bernardino, California, earned first-team All-Big 12 honors after averaging 16.1 points on 50.0% shooting, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game during the 2025-26 college basketball season.
