The NCAA Championship Game has garnered significant attention, especially from Purdue fans, as the Boilermakers make it to Monday night's game. Notably, former Purdue coach Gene Keady, a Hall of Famer, has shown his support in a unique way by sporting a 'P' on the back of his head and wearing a Purdue hockey jersey hoodie. Reports indicate a strong presence of Purdue fans at the game, with estimates suggesting the crowd is composed of at least 70% Purdue supporters, and some suggesting the ratio of Purdue to UConn fans could be as high as 2 to 1. Keady also had his Purdue Pete game face on, highlighting the intense support from the Purdue community.

There are SO many more Purdue fans here than UConn fans. As a New Yorker, I'm so not used to a non-Huskies dominated crowd lol
Gene Keady in the house! https://t.co/1CNYaghvPy
At least a 2 to 1 advantage in number of Purdue fans. Maybe more.
Feels like a Purdue-filled crowd. https://t.co/MQeGd9Sfrk

Loud boos for UConn as they take the floor. Feels like it's 70/30 Purdue fans in here at minimum.
Anecdotally, there are an insane number of Purdue fans in the house tonight. Also, Gene Keady is here in what looks like a Purdue hockey jersey hoodie. Hell yeah. Tip-off in about 30 mins

Happy for my Purdue friends to see the Boilermakers make it to Monday night’s NCAA Championship Game. Rob Blackman does a great job as the Boilers play by play man. Gene Keady was always fun to interview and talk to. Coach Painter does things the right way. Hope Purdue wins
