Jaden Ivey, No. 3 Purdue Defeat No. 6 Texas; Will Face Saint Peter's in Sweet 16

The Purdue Boilermakers are going to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in six years.

Purdue defeated the Texas Longhorns 81-71 in Sunday's round of 32 game of the 2022 NCAA men's basketball tournament. Jaden Ivey, Trevion Williams and Zach Edey led the way for the No. 3 seed in the East Region, which still has not lost outside of Big Ten play this season.

Impressive showings from Marcus Carr and Andrew Jones weren't enough for the sixth-seeded Longhorns, who have not made the Sweet 16 since 2008.
