Edwards' 29 3s in 4 games a tournament record

Carsen Edwards was not able to carry Purdue into the Final Four on Saturday night, as his third-seeded Boilermakers fell to No. 1 Virginia 80-75 in overtime of the NCAA South Regional final.

He did, however, forever etch his name into the record books.

Edwards finished Saturday's game with 42 points and was 10-for-19 from beyond the arc, shattering the record for 3-pointers in an NCAA tournament. His 29 3s in four games bested the previous record of 27 by Michigan's Glen Rice in the 1989 tournament. Rice's record was achieved in six games.
