The 2018 Purdue season finished at TD Arena in Boston in the Sweet Sixteen with the #2 seed Boilermakers falling to Coach Chris Beard’s #3 seed Texas Tech Red Raisers. It probably finished earlier than that though, in Detroit, out with a bang that echoed all the way up to the rafters of the Little Caesar's Arena. I was there, all the way up there, and I can still hear that heavy thud.
But back to the coaches that can’t stop playing each other.
It was the second time Coach Matt Painter’s Boilermakers took on a Beard coached squad as the higher ranked team.
