NCAA Tournament Final Four Quick Wrap: Purdue 63, NC State 50

Purdue would go on to win a defensive battle, 63-50. On a night where the refs swallowed their whistles, and Smith and Edey both turned the ball over five times, Purdue was able to get enough from the edges and from beyond the three-point line to advance to its second NCAA Tournament Championship game in program history, the first since 1969. When Purdue needed a bucket, often times it was senior transfer Lance Jones, who knocked down four threes on his way to 14 points.
