Clearly the AP is fake news.

Here is the AP preview for the Purdue game. This is what is being used by nearly all media outlets to let the people know about these two teams.

I understand why the team feels the need to get on the phone about how they are playing.

But coach Matt Painter was most proud of his team's defense, which held the Catamounts to 44 percent shooting.

"These guys have locked in on defense," Painter said. "They bought in to trying to be good on the defensive end of the floor, contesting shots. Naz (Mitrou-Long) has really taken it upon himself to take a lot of pride in being our defensive stopper and putting him on the best guy."

Standing in the way of a trip to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2010 is fifth-seeded Iowa State, which also hasn't gotten past the first weekend in 17 years.

When did Naz transfer to Purdue?

I'm just sooooooo disappointed in him for defecting.

Thats embarrassing for the writer of that article.

Totally. Another embarrassing moment: I was listening to the West Virginia/Notre Dame game on the radio...... The announcer commented on how tough it is to play in the Big 12 against teams like Kansas, TCU, Texas A&M and Okie State every night.

Ouch!

I bet they were confused between Iowa and Iowa State. Iowa hasnt made a sweet 16 since 1999. That would be kind of close probably.

Google is hard.

This reporting is on par with the rest of journalism coming from the mainstream media these days. Laughable.

The article even ends by saying it could be Monte's 3rd Sweet 16, which would mean he's been here since, what, 1997?

He probably played against Perry Ellis his freshman year

What a dummy. We only play 2 nights a week in conference play.

Writer probably refers to this map:

I like that they just took out Oklahoma and basically redrew Nebraska in its place.
