[MNclone]

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.

Fantastic. Someone with Twitter pull should get that out. @ChrisMWilliams maybe a little help?

Perfect fodder for the phone hand.

Glad they did their research here! And we wonder why people are constantly misinformed from the news?

Is there an open practice today?

According to the writer of that article, yes there is. The open practice will be at 10:00pm and take place in Tulsa. Coach Hoiberg will be on hand to sign autographs afterwards.

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

Shoot. That's an even worse break than when Niang broke his foot.
