Sure, Purdue has its own game with high stakes tonight in West Lafayette, but tonight also begins the annual Indiana High School Basketball State Tournament. Sectional play starts tonight at 64 sites across the state, and one of the most competitive sectionals is happening right across town at Lafayette Jeff High School.
Purdue has only one committed player playing in the tournament this year. Sasha Stefanovich leads Crown Point into a tricky sectional played at Michigan City. Crown points is 20-3 and is ranked 10th in Class 4A, but was 4-1 against the teams in its field.
