Playing in the NCAA tournament for the first time, Grambling State completed an epic second-half comeback to earn an 88-81 overtime win over Montana State in Wednesday's First Four matchup.
Grambling State trailed by as many as 14 points in the second half before storming back behind a spirited effort from sophomore guard Jimel Cofer, who scored a team-high 19 points off the bench. Jourdan Smith and Antwan Burnett added 18 points apiece for the Tigers.
Grambling State will face Purdue, the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region, in the Round of 64 on Friday night. Taking on the Zach Edey-led Boilermakers will be no easy task, but the Tigers are hoping to ride the wave of Wednesday's surprising win to another upset.

After all, it was just a year ago that Purdue became the second No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Those on social media were excited by their first dose of March Madness thanks to Grambling State's comeback victory:
