Purdue took care of business early against Northwestern and sustained it all game long.
41
When Purdue’s Big Three of Braden Smith, Trey Kaufman-Renn, and Fletcher Loyer scores 41 or more points on the season, they are 10-0. Yesterday, the trio scored 43 points, led by 22 from Braden Smith.
Loyer only attempted one three, if there was anything that NW did well yesterday, it was running Loyer off of the three-point line.
35
The total number of points, rebounds, and assists for Braden Smith. He is putting together quite the stretch, starting with the Toledo game right before the New Year. He was picked the pre-season Big Ten Player of the Year for a reason and he is showing it.
Last three games.

The number of wins in a row at Mackey Arena for Coach Matt Painter. It is one of the longest streaks in the nation and is a tip of the cap to the Paint Crew, the alumni and the local fans that fill it up every single game.
