Probably no stats on number of players to score in an NCAA tournament game, but I loved seeing all of the players take the team to the Sweet 16.

Anything yet about first two wins in the tournament with combined MOV of 67? Not just Purdue but all-time? I don't know the answer.

There have been some big blow-outs. In the expanded field era, there's at least these two:

Connecticut (2009) - 82 (beat Chattanooga 103-47 and Texas A & M 92-66)

Kentucky (1995) - 68 (beat Mount St. Mary's 113-67 and Tulane 82-60)

In 1963 (25-team field)

Tournament champion Loyola-Chicago (with one less round) had 79
(beat Tennessee Tech 111-42 (largest single game margin) and Mississippi State 61-51)

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

4th largest margin of victory in a round of 32 game.

Cool thing about H2 was we scored 57 pts. Edey, I think, only had 2 of those?

Yes, he had 21 and 11 at half and finished with 23 and 14 with 3 assists. His points/rebounds/assists equaled 40 because the over/under on that prop bet combining those for Edey was 40.5 (gee who woulda thought)
