Big Ten rivals Iowa and Purdue came together prior to Thursday's basketball game to honor Boilermakers superfan Tyler Trent after his death from bone cancer earlier this week.
As players were putting on their jerseys in the locker room, they also sported a new "Tyler Strong" warm-up T-shirt:
The Mackey Complex also left an empty spot in the stands in honor of Trent:
