- Rakim Chaney had a career-high 35 points and his buzzer 3 at the end of the first overtime forced the second extra period that set up McNair’s winner.
- Purdue coach Matt Painter said a failure to secure a rebound after an intentional foul at the end of the first overtime was the turning point that allowed Valparaiso to extend the game.
