  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back, Boiler Maker fans, to the Central Indiana Sports Report for a special edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, Jake's reaction to Purdue's
• 0:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: 8860 win over Auburn on on Saturday.
• 0:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, you were there.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a great first half.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was an even better second half of water performance.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really great performance here from Purdue.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really seemed like they were control the entire game.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I never really honestly felt nervous for the game.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like Purdue was like sitting in control.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And big statement went or a revenge went to last year.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: and and Birmingham so Purdue controlled Auburn from start to finish and I said it was able to flip that script from last year.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like Matt Painter said you shoot 56% from the field 46 put percent from the three point line.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: It make all your free throws and out rebound your opponent by 10.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Gonna win every time.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely and it looks like Purdue kind of has its mojo back.
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we talked about
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, since I was state lost that, you know, they've looked pretty good defensively and and I mean, they're they're offences as you know, sustain being able to sustain that kind of default level that that so Auburn is is a good team, much better than the Minnesota and market teams that that we saw so the Auburn is a probably our tournament team around a 32 type team and and pretty treated them accordingly.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Since the last Iowa State three straight wins by 28 points or more, against three power four schools.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a prism playing well.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They obviously wish they didn't lose the game against Iowa State, but I think they've been able to handle it pretty well.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: And here's the other thing.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've played four games against ranked teams.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're three and one.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously the last Iowa State, they were ranked 10th at the time.
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: The other three, they beat Alabama by seven at Alabama.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: They beat Texas Tech by 30 points, and now they beat Auburn by 28.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: So in big games, other than the Iowa State game, it's gone as expected.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in this game in particular, I mean, so really kind of how Purdue is built to close, Purdue really kind of softened Auburn from the perimeter in the first half, and then in second half earned to heal there and switch going into the paint
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: track off of rent in particular.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He, I, I saw a close of him in the post games said that, you know, you had this one circle on the calendar from last year, the thing in back to what they did to them.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Purdue dominated the paint outscored Auburn for in 20 to paint.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And really get to see that against a, you know, a good SEC team.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Shooter depth that we've talked about.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even with flesher lawyer going over seven from three Purdue is still able to shoot 46% from deep, they like 12 to 16 and that's pretty scary.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you think about it, when it comes to tournament time, it's going to be pretty hard to be pretty when they're when they're shooting like that, but ball movement standpoint, Purdue finished with almost a two to one, it's just to turn over ratio for the game finish it at one point nine one.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thirdly three baskets, especially when you're working inside out and obviously that that starts with brain smith 14.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Assess in this game, just an absolute master class.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: His third straight game with double digits Assess, which that's a program first.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got 36 Assess in his last three games and has a plus minus 77 in the last three games as well.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, he's just been a true point god here in the last few games.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if pretty much they go far in the tournament, obviously gonna need this type of, against these calder of opponents.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I've been watching basketball for a long, long time.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: There are very, very few that I've ever watched it.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: You could watch them play not score a point and tell that they're the best player on the floor.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just to glad to have him walk on the team for sure.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: Might be the best player in the country.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they mentioned on the broadcast yesterday as scoring's down this year, his play definitely isn't down.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's not been every game exactly what we thought we'd get this year.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: but when the time has come, we've seen exactly who he is.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And who he is is maybe the best player in the country.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a game that really kind of reminded fans of how good Purdue and Brad Smith can be.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about how he's been chasing kind of that record with all time assist record and it's a double way.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Assuming that Purdue has finishes out the regular season, 19 games, let's assume they have one.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Big 10 tournament game and only one NCAA tournament game, brain smith would need to average 9.7 assists a game to overtake Bobby Hurley for the leader all-time assist record.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's the best one to do.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I certainly hope so.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So through the Auburn game here on Saturday, brain smith currently has 173 career assists that ranks him 26th all-time in CWA.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: to get to the record and he needs a four more assist to move into 25th Bobby Hurley established that record, I even played a Duke from 1990 to 1993.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've raised this guy a good shot here.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: If he keeps reckoned up assist like this, you know, against this team's like this, certainly I get it within reaching distance here.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I don't know a lot of the names of the players in front of them, but I do know some and one of them he will pass in the next game against Kent State is Ryan Nimhard, who just graduated last year and is in the NBA.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next game, he should pass cash just Winston on the Big Ten list, one of the all-time great point guards in Big Ten history from Michigan State.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Taking back to Cash Swenson on those Michigan State teams that you as a guy that
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: at that was really good and I got that I think they made a little little frustrated as a Purdue fans with how good he was.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's really a way special for right Smith to have that opportunity to pass him.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think ultimately we'll here in a couple of games.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: So always nice to have a Purdue guys at the top of what leader boards there.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake and I will have a pretty report on Wednesday and then another one, the next Wednesday those are going to be the only two coming up.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have a feeling though, Jake and I will be talking to some college basketball doing some college basketball reports so there's that and we have more to talk about with this game but before we do I want to talk about some of the other names that he's going to be passing because I'm a basketball nerd and this is going to be fun to make.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is 26 assists away from passing Gary Peyton, which is incredible.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: What an amazing player he was at Oregon State.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then next up on the list after that is Doug Gottlieb who everybody knows.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Craig Anthony from UNLV.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Back in the late 80s, early 90s.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: German dozens who lost to IU in the national championship game in 1987, the point guard of the Syracuse Orange men, as they were known back then.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Steve Blake from Maryland is the all-time big tin leader, although Maryland wasn't at the big in the big tin at the time, so I don't know how you count that, but Do you count him?
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: People consider caches when still time big tin leader, so it's a perk person.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't count that, but hopefully, brave Smith can overtake him.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of rain a projection there, if only one big tin game, and only one incidentally term a game.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But assuming looks like they're that Purdue plays three games in the big ten tournament and six games the NCAA tournament along with the 19 regular student games brain Smith, we need to average seven point three assists a game, which he's averaging averaging, you know, a couple of us above that a game now at this rate if for two keeps winning games and can can play, you know, the full amount of games here and the big ten tournament as well as the NCAA tournament then.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's got to get really a shot here of a pass in a record.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And for you, young people like Jake Bobby Hurley, an argument could definitely be made that he is the greatest point guard in the history of college basketball.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't say that.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'd put him in the top five, but he is definitely in the top five in college basketball history, one two national championships with Duke and was if not the main reason, one of the main reasons they did that.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think you'd have to take everything else into consideration, including how they do in the NCAA tournament.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: But very high, very high.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Alright, let's talk more about this game, and if CJ Cox plays like that, nobody's beating the boy with me.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really good performance here from guys like that.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, he played well, Jack Banner at 11 points off of Bench, just the depth here trick off of Bench's physicality really kind of war, Auburn down, and that allowed.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, guys like Chicago Harris and Jack Banner to come in and really, uh, never really kind of blow this game open.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to talk about Jack for sure, but real fast on trick off of Bench, 9 for 13, 18 points, 6 rebounds, the stats won't say this is one of the best games he ever played, but man was he good.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: he was good.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think if he doesn't pick up that third foul there there in the kind of early second half, I think he easily could have had five plus.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was kind of going for like said he said that he circled this count, this game of the calendar.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think he could definitely could have had a lot more points and I'm really would have definitely what it considered as one of the best games that they've ever played.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And just played his
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: really good performance in the team here and something that's kind of encouraging as a fan.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, and that the guys rebound from Iowa State Game, I know it's kind of their first real test.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about Mark Edden and Minnesota not really being a big test, a nice to see a good team like Auburn coming here and Auburn, no loss to, you know, lost to Michigan by, by 30, lost
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're getting better.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess they get against these destroyed tough teams, but still kind of continuing the trend here to get them blown out by some of these elite teams.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: When I was at the sports editor at the news interview and in Jeffersonville, I got to cover a game, a sectional game, to break off when Ren played against Jack Binter.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: And as a Purdue fan, it was really cool to be able to see that.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Never in a million years that I think the Trake Offman ran would turn into the player he's been.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And never in a million years what I have thought Jack Binter would be a guy who's going to be a key player on a national championship contender as a freshman.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is that good.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: He really is that good of a player.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I never saw it in high school.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I never saw that he was going to be this good.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this physicality stood out here too.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, the threes, but you is in there trying to draw charge.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just going for loose balls, getting rebounds and just being tough.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: These are really developing it into a big tin player here, out of grief.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to the season.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not sure I would have believed you if you said that.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But so you've become more than just a shooter.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would just get definitely something that that's going to be needed here in March.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: We could definitely on the painer loved him.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was getting minutes.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't expect him to get.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we're starting to see why.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: not only is you talked about doing the dirty work, the tough guy stuff, the go into the floor, taking charges, four for four from the field, three for three from the three point line, this guy can really play.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thinking ahead to next year, obviously this year is a special one to try to maximize the amount of time we have here at this year, but taking ahead.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he'll slide into the three spot next year here when when Fletcherler moves on and bring it up.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody from the portal for the fourth spot.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know they're produced trying to go after a kid and peers who's probably arguably the best transfer in this upcoming class from Princeton.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure what that'll look like, but that's why that painter gets paid that the big bucks certainly is approving that he belongs, not only in this team, but in the conference.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Auburn did have 11 offensive rebounds.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just madening.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's mad.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they dominate the offensive boards and then can't dominate the defensive boards.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just so weird.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: some of these rebounds.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're kind of long rebounds.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like Cruz effort was there and they feel like it, you know, they made, they made Auburn work for some of those rebounds that they got.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was the defense was so good.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: They were forcing it, Auburn into bad shots and bad shots are unpredictable.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Where they're going to wind up.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they gave up some bad offensive rebounds that way.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Overall, though, the defense was so good.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: You kind of forgive the offensive rebounds a little bit.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: overt shot 42.2% overall.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't look very good offensively.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of that is a credit to produce defense.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And during kind of produce a knockout stretch, missed nine straight shots during that stretch.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I produced post defense was a good, you know, showed good good effort on, you know, on the boards.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we were able to contest, you know, most of
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: big part of that was was neutralizing to hot peddifford.
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: He went down, you know, kind of like someone or away in the second half.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't return, but yeah, I mean, they enjoyed so I used to have Kishon Hall, you know, he had a pretty good game, the overton, though it's like opposite player.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought Hall and overton were really good players, but they were never comfortable offensively, except for one on one with Hall and overton.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think kind of a key difference here in these two programs.
• 14:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It feels like
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, Auburn's built for that AU, you know, one on one style play, where it's pretty kind of plays more as a team.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And you think this morning, Sebastian is wishing he'd chosen West Lafayette over Opa like a Alabama?
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was, you kind of excited to watch him see how he played, so you're, you might, might be a, you might be a little fired up for this game, but played 20 points.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: had a rebound assist in a turnover on two steals, so you didn't really look overly good and you know, I think things work out like they're supposed to, so I think you made the right choice not come in or Purdue and that's allowed Purdue to get some of these guys that like a jack banner, I kind of opened the doors for him to play and really make a difference.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, let's talk more about it on Wednesday.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: We'll have lots of Purdue topics right before Christmas here.
