TV: TBS

Radio: WMVP 1000-AM

The skinny: While the third-seeded Boilermakers seek their third consecutive Sweet 16 appearance, the 11th-seeded Rams shoot for their first. This will be Virginia Commonwealth's third game in five nights, but to a man the Rams say they're not tired. Pay attention to the mighty-mite point guard matchup between Purdue's Lewis Jackson (7.9 ppg, 3.9 apg) and VCU's Joey Rodriguez (10.7 ppg, 4.8 apg).
