Amir Khan fired up McNeese with a fantastic boombox entrance before their Purdue game

McNeese student manager Amir Khan led the No. 12 Cowboys out for Saturday's Round of 32 game against No. 4 Purdue on Saturday in Providence in style.

Once again, Khan rocked a giant boombox and marched his McNeese teammates out of the tunnel as the music hyped everyone up. The boombox was customized for Buffalo Wild Wings, one of Khan's NIL sponsors.

The boombox entrance is a staple for Khan and McNeese, and we get why the team keeps using it to fire them up for games.

Seriously, how could you not get hyped by this? We would follow Khan anywhere with that boombox.
