Purdue

Purdue basketball (29-5) begins its NCAA Tournament journey with a matchup against Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. − Prequalified Structures for the Stage, a Purdue University course from the Fusion Studio for Entertainment and Engineering, ...

“This course takes an approach that foregrounds the principles involved and minimizes mathematical analysis,” Dionne said in the release. “Some of the folks who most want this knowledge are busy doing the work, and finding time to gain new knowledge can be challenging,” Dionne said in the release. This new online course, offered by the Fusion Studio for Entertainment and Engineering, dives deep into the engineering principles of effective and safe theater construction. “The number of online videos documenting stage collapses is frightening,” said Rich Dionne, associate professor of practice and faculty technical director for Purdue’s Fusion Studio for Entertainment and Engineering, in the release. Prequalified Structures for the Stage follows an asynchronous schedule, meaning online students can access the course work at any time. This is where Purdue's new online course, Prequalified Structures for the Stage, comes in.

The former Northern Arizona defensive back has coached with Ryan Walters at Missouri and Illinois.

What fired me up was just going back on tape and watching the game as a whole when we got here at Purdue and seeing the guys we have in the building and how they competed. A: As far as last year's season, they made a strong push late, especially in November to get where they needed to be as far as winning the Big Ten West and playing in the Big Ten title game. We have players in the building now that are used to winning. That was one of the first things we did is watch everyone who had played and that is what excited us. He went to Colorado to do that and then he transitioned to safety. As a player, he was exposed to the full realm of what the game is. We're hoping to find the right players for Purdue. It's a single high, man free cover 2 defense that allows our guys to play fast in the back end and cover and take away routes and get ball breaks. Sanoussi is one of the first guys he met at the facility. He understands how to attack people in all phases of the football. It creates confident players to play fast and play in space and get to the quarterback. A: I've been fortunate enough to be with coach since 2018 and over time, he and Kevin have continued to tweak and improve the defense.

Fairleigh Dickinson became the second No. 16 seed in history to win an NCAA Tournament game, thanks to a relentless, hustling defense.

He didn't attempt a shot in the final nine minutes. Purdue was a 3 seed when it lost to 15 seed Saint Peter's, another small New Jersey school, in the Sweet 16 last year. FDU held Purdue scoreless for more than 5 1/2 minutes down the stretch and moved ahead by five on a 3-pointer by Moore — who is from suburban Columbus — with 1:03 left.

Fairleigh Dickinson joined the Retrievers in NCAA tournament lore and became the second No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 in the first round when it beat Purdue 63-58 ...

It has happened only once before. How big is the biggest upset of 2023 March Madness?

It speaks to the power of the NCAA tournament. But it also speaks to the parity within the landscape this season. FDU fans have to be in the "Why not?" The Knights had to get through the First Four just to get to this game. Add in neutral courts, tight officiating and the pressure of one-and-one and it all becomes a combustible, delightful mix. More so than just three high-major programs losing in the first round so far, it's one 1-seed and one 2-seed. FDU would never win a best-of-seven against any of the top teams in the bracket, but the Knights didn't have to. [Fletcher Loyer](https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5105853/fletcher-loyer) made three 3s, but [Braden Smith](https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5105854/braden-smith) and [Mason Gillis](https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4431753/mason-gillis) combined to shoot 2-for-13 from behind the arc. He didn't trust the other guys to execute in that moment with Edey facing all that pressure. On paper, this is one of the weakest teams we've seen in the NCAA tournament in years. When you factor all of that in, and you pit them against a team with the guy who is going to be the unanimous Wooden Award winner ... The Knights lost the NEC title game to Merrimack.

Postgame Notes No. 1 seed Purdue's historic season came to an end as Fairleigh Dickinson upset Purdue 63-58 on Friday night in Columbus, Ohio. Purdue had.

And it keeps happening, this time of year, to Purdue and its head basketball coach Matt Painter. Purdue Boilermakers guard Ethan Morton (25) bites down on his ...

1 seed to lose to a No. His team was better than the one it lost to Friday. That was in 2008 to Xavier, which lost in the Elite Eight. Otherwise, the Boilers ended their season to two national champions, a runner-up and two teams that lost in the Final Four. We don't even need to rehash that story because it had been the lowest moment for Purdue fans in decades. "It's got to sit with you, man," Painter said. In 2018, the Cavaliers became the first, and until Friday only, No. The first six of those, fans could live with, even in 2011 (the second time Hummel tore his ACL) to No. We've got to work harder." 13 seed beat them in an opening-round game at a nearly empty building. "You look for whatever answers you can. "For me, it’s disappointing.

A team, by the way, that only got into the NCAA Tournament because Merrimack, which beat Fairleigh Dickinson in the NEC championship game, was ineligible for the Big Dance. 15 Saint Peter’s in the Sweet 16, and now, No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round. 13 North Texas in the first round, No. [Dan Wolken, USA TODAY](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/columnist/dan-wolken/2023/03/18/purdue-choke-program-matt-painter-fairleigh-dickinson-ncaa-tournament/11497395002/) [63-58](http://stats.washingtonpost.com/cbk/boxscore.asp?gamecode=202303170474&home=474&vis=200&final=true&itid=lk_inline_manual_5), to anonymous FDU in front of a sold-out and flipped-out crowd, becoming the second of the 152 No. And the NEC is terrible—0–31 in the NCAA Tournament until this game." "If you scripted a movie about an NCAA tournament upset, it would look exactly like this. 1 seeds to lose to a No. While the Boilermakers had a chance to win it late, it was still a No. "You lose that game because you’re scared of it. "What an absolute flaming garbage barge, floating down the Wabash River.

The former Western Carolina head coach, who died earlier this month, proved how one night in March can change the trajectory of a career, and a life.

He'd check in every March with an update for what he liked to call his 15 minutes of fame, detailing the interview requests and folks who'd check in. Perhaps the most gutting professional thing that happened to Hopkins was that his athletic director didn't realize that he was sitting on a goldmine roster. Hopkins admitted he slept through the famous UVA-UMBC game, as he was worn down from spending the morning with the seven grandkids. A few years later, with his former assistant Matta on the cusp of taking Ohio State to the NCAA tournament as a No. It's a flurry of games, all condensed as the years pass to select moments that transcend and resonate. He'd run for mayor in town and lost in a buzzer beater of an election, but it was hard to see how. He got a lot of mileage out of the line quantifying his excitement: "Well, I've been married before, but I've never been to the NCAA's." And the setting was the essence of a coach who found more satisfaction coaching far from the bright lights. Instead of being the standard bearer for NCAA upsets, Hopkins and his crew were instead forever tied to what could have been. It was Gene Keady's team back in 1996 that got scared to the brink, as Western Carolina's upset bid rocked the The Pit in Albuquerque to unmatched decibels. The homespun Hopkins and the Catamounts of Cullowhee, N.C., were relegated with those final caroms from tournament icons to footnotes. After nearly pulling off one of the great upsets in NCAA tournament history as a No.
