00:00Speaking of a resume builder, that's exactly what Purdue did last night.
00:03They beat Nebraska in overtime, 80-77.
00:07The Huskers having a great season, of course.
00:09Braden Smith, 13 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 5 for 15 from the field.
00:13Anytime you beat a ranked opponent, that's going to help you in March.
00:16What did you make of this outcome?
00:18Well, it's not just the fact that Braden Smith struggled, but Fletcher Lawyer struggled as well.
00:22I think I saw 10 for 30 or 10 for 35 from the floor to two guards.
00:26So for me, it was a good win for Purdue.
00:29A Purdue team that we had great expectations for before the season started as the number one team in the
00:34country
00:35has floundered a little bit in Big Ten play.
00:38So it was a good performance.
00:40The problem that you have with Purdue, folks, is the fact of this,
00:42is their margin error becomes very small when they don't make shots.
00:48They rely on half-court offense, their bottom 150, 160, and paced nationally.
00:52I still think Matt Painter has to get the ball up the floor a bit faster, fly the ball up
00:57the floor,
00:57but good for Braden Smith, who did not shoot the ball well,
01:00but did what he does better than anybody else in the country, and that's pass the rock.
