'I'm openly rooting for Purdue. Deal with it.' Reaction to 39-point March Madness win

Purdue basketball puts on quite a show in advancing to the Sweet 16, smashing Utah State 106-67 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

That's Purdue largest scoring output in an NCAA tournament game in program history. Purdue earns its 31 win this season, the most in program history. The Boilermakers score 57 points in the second half. Seven players make a 3-pointer.

They also hold their familiar free throw advantage: 19-of-23, to Utah State's 12-of-16. USU was whistled 20 times, Purdue 10.

It all evokes a strong reaction online.
