Jack Benter looks at the basket and sees Lake Michigan right now. He's 5-5 from three tonight, 3-3 last game, and has helped #Purdue lead Kent State 89-45 with 7:11 to play.
Jack Benter's back-to-back threes have broken this open, now 49-22 #Purdue. Great experience for him with Trey Kaufman-Renn out and a hell of a bench weapon when he comes back.

The last 5 times Purdue has reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Boilermakers have won. Theyโve reached the Sweet 16 in six of the last eight tournaments. Havenโt lost a second round game since 2012. What an era of @BoilerBall. Matt Painter is elite.
