Grambling State's first trip to the NCAA tournament ended early thanks to reigning National Player of the Year Zach Edey.

Edey led Purdue with 30 points as the No. 1 Boilermakers defeated No. 16 Grambling in a 78-50 victory.

The Purdue big man is the first player to record 30 points and 20 assists in an NCAA tournament game since Joe Smith achieved the feat for Maryland in 1995.
