Grant's 11 points to begin the second half opened up the inside for teammate JuJuan Johnson's 23 points. Johnson, the tallest player on either team at 6-foot-10, also tied a career high with 15 rebounds.
E'Twaun Moore added 12 points for the Boilermakers (28-5). They were steamed that even President Barack Obama had joined a national chorus predicting the Saints (27-7) would pull a first-round upset in the third consecutive NCAA tournament.
Grant, a senior, became a starter after do-it-all Robbie Hummel blew out his knee three weeks ago.
