Purdue chose Philly cheesesteaks when they dined as a team Wednesday night.

PHILADELPHIA — The Purdue Boilermakers, viewed all season as a team capable of making a deep run in March Madness, arrived in Philadelphia Wednesday for their Sweet 16 matchup.

Cinderella Saint Peter's faces Purdue Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center. Tipoff is set for 7:09 p.m. Purdue head coach Matt Painter said the Peacocks, getting tournament wins last week against Murray State and Kentucky, deserve to be called one of the best teams in the country.
