US EditionFletcher Loyer, Purdue outlast Miami to advance to Sweet 16
- On Sunday, Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball defeated Miami Hurricanes men's basketball 79-69 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis to advance to the Sweet 16.
- After Miami led 40-38 at halftime, Purdue's hot shooting and a 12-5 second-half spurt helped overturn the deficit, fueled by Fletcher Loyer's 13-2 first-half surge.
- Loyer's near-perfect shooting defined the box score as he shot 6-for-7 overall, 4-for-4 on 3-pointers, and 8-for-8 from the free-throw line, while Braden Smith, Purdue guard, hit four straight free throws late and C.J. Cox, Purdue guard, left early with an apparent knee injury.
- The victory delivered program milestones as Purdue reached the Sweet 16 for the third straight season, tying the program's longest streak, and Matt Painter recorded his 500th win in his 21st season as Purdue head coach.
- Up next for Purdue is 11th-seeded Texas, which upset 3 seed Gonzaga in Saturday's second round, with Purdue's 28-8 record and Big Ten title framing the matchup.
