As the men’s tournament prepares for Sweet 16 games Thursday and Friday this week, the Purdue Boilermakers are wondering what might have been, after a disappointing performance in their tournament opener last Friday, resulting in a loss by the number one seeded Boilers to 16 seed Farleigh Dickinson, only the second time ever a one lost to a 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
