The Knights, who needed to beat Texas Southern in a play-in an hour and a half down the road in Dayton on Wednesday night, toppled No. 1 seed Purdue, 63-58, to cement their place in history as the second No. 16 seed to defeat a top seed.Join the Ohio State Sports Insider text group with Bill Rabinowitz, Joey Kaufman Adam Jardy
It worked. Purdue put together a 10-0 run during the second half as Edey scored the first five points and assisted on a three-point play by Mason Gillis with 12:43 left, but after the lead got to 46-41 the Knights responded with an 8-0 run of their own to reclaim the lead. They would have to sweat out the final seconds, however. Ahead 61-58, Purdue got the ball after a replay review with 30 seconds to play, moved the ball across midcourt but called timeout when the play broke down with 18.9 seconds remaining.
