Valparaiso pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season on Saturday, defeating Purdue on the Boilermakers' home court in a dramatic double-overtime thriller. The Crusaders hit last-second three-pointers in both overtime periods to secure the stunning victory.
The game, played on November 7, 2026, saw Valpo silence the home crowd with clutch shooting when it mattered most. After forcing overtime with a buzzer-beating three, Valparaiso repeated the feat in the second extra period to complete the improbable comeback.
Purdue, known as the Boilermakers, entered the contest as heavy favorites but could not contain Valparaiso's late-game heroics. The loss marks a significant early-season setback for Purdue, while Valparaiso celebrates a program-defining road win against a Power Five opponent.
