Records new season high Furst provided 15 points (4-4 FG, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, one block and four steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 69-58 victory over Washington.

Impact Furst has made five starts since entering the starting lineup in place of Myles Colvin in the first game of 2025, and across that span, he's posting 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds -- far superior to his season-long averages of 5.1 and 3.0, respectively. The fourth-year forward has appeared in over 120 games for the Boilermakers, but if he can sustain this role, he'll be in line for potentially the best statistical season of his career.

Starting Thursday Furst is in the starting five for Thursday's game at Minnesota, the team announced.

Impact Furst will make his first start of the season Thursday, taking the place of Camden Heide. He is averaging 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.2 blocks in 11.8 minutes per game.

Limited to reserve role Furst is averaging 4.8 points and 1.4 rebounds across 10.4 minutes through the first five games of the 2024-25 season for Purdue.

Impact Furst has steadily seen his production decline since his freshman/sophomore seasons at Purdue. He even fell out of the rotation at one point last season, but that can largely be attributed to the heavy minutes played by Wooden Award winner Zach Edey. With Edey out of the picture, it was once thought the 6-10 center would have a chance to expand his role, but so far he's been firmly behind 7-2 sophomore Will Berg on the depth chart. A season-ending injury to Daniel jacobsen (lower leg) could open up more minutes, however, as first did see a season-high in minutes and field-goal attempts in Tuesday's loss to Purdue.

Plays 17 minutes Furst finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Saturday's 79-71 loss to Indiana.

Impact Furst did not play much, a trend that continues to be the case regardless of whatever role he serves. During February, he averaged 4.6 points and 4.9 rebounds across seven games. While the Boilermakers continue to operate around center Zach Edey, Furst is not expected to be promising much despite being a starter for one of college basketball's best teams.

Impact Furst hadn't had many big games in 2023 until recording his first double-double in 12 games since the new year. Should he make a habit of this late in the season, Furst would boost the potential of the Boilermakers in more important matchups.

Impact Furst often scored in double-figures in the first couple months of the season but hasn't recorded the same minutes or production of late. In the four games to start 2023, Furst averaged 5.5 points and 5 rebounds per game.
