"We knew it was a prove-it game for us," sophomore center Matt Haarms said. "To get to the Sweet 16, you have to beat a team like that. We had to do it in a big way to show everybody what this team is made of. I'm just really proud of all our guys and what we did tonight." Cline and Grady Eifert became the winningest senior class in program history with their 108th victory. That includes six in the past three years in the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament.More: Fletcher Magee has nightmare 0-for-12 3-point shooting night as Wofford falls to Kentucky
Saturday night, the Boilermakers came out with, in context, their best half of basketball this season. Three easy baskets by Haarms, and three Villanova turnovers on its final four possessions, keyed Purdue’s 11-2 closing run to a 43-24 lead.
