The Texas Longhorns and Purdue Boilermakers meet in the 2026 Sweet 16 on Thursday, March 26.
The Longhorns earned a No. 11 seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament but were among the final at-large teams admitted to the field. This meant that Texas was forced to play one of the four play-in games. The Longhorns beat NC State by two points, and then used that momentum to pull off upset wins over BYU and Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16.
Purdue won the Big Ten conference championship and earned a No. 2 seed in the field. The Boilermakers rolled past No. 15 Queens in the first round and escaped with a win against Miami in the second round. The winner of this Sweet Sixteen matchup will advance to the Elite Eight and play on Saturday.
Here is a look at the box score from Thursday's Sweet 16 matchup between Texas and Purdue.
