Before its men's basketball game against Purdue on Wednesday night, Ohio State paid tribute to a late Boilermakers fan who captured the nation's hearts.
With a banner reading "We Are All #TylerStrong" displaying in Ohio State's student section, a moment of silence was held prior to Wednesday night's game in honor of Trent, who died Jan. 1 after a valiant battle with bone cancer.
