Purdue, Iowa Basketball Teams Will Honor Late Fan Tyler Trent

Purdue and Iowa will pay tribute to Boilermakers superfan Tyler Trent by wearing #TylerStrong t-shirts in his memory before their game on Thursday, the teams announced.

Trent died Tuesday after a battle with bone cancer. He was 20 years old.

Shirts will be available for purchase at the game and 50% of the net sales will be donated to the Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment Fund.
