The win sends Purdue to the Sweet 16 for the second year in a row, the third time in four years and the eighth time overall under longtime coach Matt Painter. After taking care of No. 13 High Point in the first round, last year’s national runner-up heads into the second weekend having won two games at Amica Mutual Pavilion by a combined 26 points.

Trey Kaufman-Renn had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and the Purdue Boilermakers used a fast start to roll to a 76-62 win over McNeese in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Ahead of its stunning first-round NCAA tournament upset over Clemson, McNeese was in the headlines for head coach Will Wade reportedly agreeing to take the job at NC State after the Cowboys' March Madness run is finished.
