For Purdue, their last victory over Michigan was fueled by a standout performance from Braden Smith, who filled the stat sheet with 24 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. The 6'0 junior floor general is Purdue’s engine, averaging 15.4 PPG, 4.8 RPG, and ranking third in the nation with 8.9 APG. A deadly shooter from distance, Smith has drained 47 triples this season at a 38.8% success rate. He has scored 12+ points with at least five assists in each of his last four contests.
Purdue's leading scorer is Trey Kaufman-Renn, a 6'9 junior forward who has stepped out from under Zach Edey's shadow to average 18.1 PPG. His production has skyrocketed compared to last season’s 6.4 PPG. While Kaufman-Renn does most of his work in the paint, he recently torched Ohio State for 26 points.
