“The more I see Purdue, the more I think we can beat them,” Knights coach Tobin Anderson shouted after the team’s First Four win.

Those words won’t make the task easier for a team which only advanced this far due to an NCAA technicality and a First Four matchup with an opponent owning one of the three worst records in NCAA Tournament history.

The Boilermakers weren’t going to take the 1-16 matchup lightly anyway, following their stunning loss to 15th-seeded Saint Peter’s in last year’s Sweet 16.

Purdue’s National Player of the Year, 7-foot-4 Zach Edey, should have no trouble putting up 30 and 15 against the smallest team in the country.
