PROVIDENCE - The fun starts early here at the Amica Mutual Pavilion as No. 4 Purdue takes on No. 12 McNeese State with a berth to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament on the line. Purdue beat up on High Point in the first round on Wednesday, winning 75-64. McNeese State went up huge on Clemson, then held on late to grab the 69-67 victory.

It didn't take long for the Boilermakers to take control of the game, and never gave it up, as they reached their sixth Sweet 16 since 2017.

McNeese State needed a timeout with the way the Boilermakers came out playing. Fortunately for the Cowboys, they got one, but it was brief because of a wardrobe malfunction.
