Chris Fowler reflects on the most powerful and emotional game he's ever called:

"It was a game between Purdue and Ohio State. There was a young cancer patient named Tyler Trent, a superfan who had essentially been adopted by the team.

He battled cancer courageously and was in very bad shape. His dying wish was to see them win that game. They were massive underdogs.

Somehow, they got him out of bed and into the car to make it to the game. He was just hanging on, man. It was one of those magical nights.

It would have been a corny movie if it had been on film. They blast Ohio State, and it's a party. They wheel Tyler through the end zone to the locker room to wait for the team after the victory.

It was just an incredibly powerful emotion, and I was barely keeping it together. I said, 'Every Boilermaker would say, "Tyler, this one's for you."'

It's my favorite game I've ever called because it went way beyond sports."

BOILER UP 🚂

(2) Purdue gets past (7) Miami with a 79-69 win to punch a spot in the Sweet 16! #MarchMadness

[Ryan Hammer🔨 @ryanhammer09]

That marks SEVEN Sweet 16s in the last NINE tournaments for Purdue & 3rd in a row.

People hear Purdue in March & think of FDU, St Peters, North Texas losses but Boilers have been to Sweet 16s more than most teams win games at all in the tournament.

2 games from Indy...🚂

These three BOZOS need to be fired. Horrible ref show today.

[Alex Inman @alexinman]

Reminder to refs: anticipate the play, not the call.

[Purdue Men's Basketball @BoilerBall]

No one has done it better.

Congrats Braden on an incredible achievement.

[Jared Berson @JaredBerson]

Purdue’s Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman-Renn are the first pair of teammates to each score 25+ points on at least 65% shooting in an NCAA Tournament game since 1999.

The Boilermakers scored 1.54 points per possession, the 5th-highest in an NCAA Tournament game the last 18 years.

[College Basketball Report @CBKReport]

Braden Smith has officially passed Bobby Hurley as the all-time assists leader in Division I men’s basketball with 1077 and counting.

A legendary career. 🚂

[Kyle @IAmKSquared]

How fitting - against Queens, Braden will become the assists King

[Jordan Stocks @StockTalks21]

Players to achieve the following in a game vs a Top 10 team since 1938:

14 PTS | 10 AST | 5 RBS | 2 STL | 0 TOV

Braden Smith. That’s the list.
