No. 5 Gonzaga played a good first 30 minutes against the Boilermakers, but Purdue hit the Bulldogs with a haymaker of a run late in the second half and pulled away, eventually defeating Gonzaga 80-68.
No. 3 Creighton made things interesting late in the game, but the Vols held on to advance to their second Elite Eight by a score of 82-75.
The Boilermakers have looked dominant during their March Madness run, but each round will get more difficult from here, and Tennessee poses a challenge that Purdue has not yet faced in the NCAA Tournament.
Tennessee has never made the Final Four, and Purdue’s last trip to the National Semifinals came all the way back in 1980. Needless to say, everything is on the line come Sunday.
Elite Eight tickets for the Detroit Regional remain, and at the time of publication were available for as little as $135.
