Carsen Edwards recorded career highs with nine 3-pointers and 42 points as third-seeded Purdue eliminated defending champion Villanova on Saturday with an 87-61 victory in an NCAA Tournament South Region second-round game at Hartford, Conn.
Matt Haarms collected 18 points and nine rebounds and Ryan Cline added 12 points for the Boilermakers , who were 16 for 30 from 3-point range to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year. Purdue will face the winner of Sunday’s contest between second-seeded Tennessee and No. 10 Iowa. The Boilermakers made seven of their first 11 3-point attempts and finished 9 for 18 from beyond the arc to seize a 43-24 lead at intermission. Villanova, conversely, went 3 for 14 from deep in the first half.
The Boilermakers kept their foot on the gas, as Edwards and Cline each drilled another 3-pointer and Haarms’ emphatic dunk capped a 14-2 run to give Purdue a 41-22 lead with 1:25 left in the first half.
