The B1G’s worst NCAA Tournament loss in recent memory took place in West Lafayette. Last week, it switched to Columbus.
It was an ironic juxtaposition. Back in 2021 your 2-seed Ohio State Buckeyes gave Oral Roberts its first tournament win in 47 years, losing to the Golden Eagles on Purdue's home floor that brought March Madness to a humiliating end.
The Buckeyes traveling to West Lafayette and taking a shocking loss? I know, imagine that.
But just two seasons later, Purdue became the second top seed ever to lose to a 16-seed, falling to Fairleigh Dickinson in Nationwide Arena.
