Purdue men's basketball suffered a heartbreaking 83-80 loss to Valparaiso on a buzzer-beating shot, according to a report by Andrew Ledman for SB Nation published Saturday.

The defeat came in a tightly contested game that ended with Valparaiso securing the win as time expired. Purdue head coach Matt Painter, who was photographed reacting during a Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Series game against Gonzaga in Las Vegas on November 2, saw his Boilermakers fall short in this matchup.

No further details on the game location, key performers, or the sequence of the final play were provided in the available report.
