  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back, boilermaker fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for a special edition of the Purdue Report.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake Dunn's reaction to produce 89 to 73 win over the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison.
• 0:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake I made a ton of notes, I've got so much to talk about, but this night was all about Britain's myth.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was he's now the big 10s all-time assist leader for career.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had 12 assists to break that record.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I needed 10 to fully claim it, but you finish the game of 12 assists didn't on the road, I had a big 10 gym in the so I have 17 conference games left.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: So.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Still, really cool thing, even though it wasn't the road, it would have been really special in Mackey, but really cool to see him on the road, going break that record.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And one that will hopefully stand here for a few more years.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know Jeremy Furrier is from Michigan State is off to a real good start with his career for assist, but hopefully one that will stand for a long time.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was really cool he had to assist to go, I think, and then he had for a just pretty much right in a row that were all just incredible passes.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was just shot off it by the 12th assist.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was kind of drawn to somebody and in the Wisconsin crowd, I think they're trying to get a riled up.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that obviously only feels him more, and he makes him better.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: So taking a look at his little career, I pretty much, it's really helped take
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: an elite program.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Guys like Zach E. D. This big three, I mean, a Matt Painter really everyone around the program is benefited from brain smith and his ability to pass the basketball.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, it makes this even scarier as they use these now.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say probably playing the best defense of his career.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, he's got the assist record.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's playing really, really good on-ball defense and takes care of the ball pretty well.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and that's the best peak brain sniff for you right there.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: All he needs now is a national championship for some icing on the cake.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: That would be a not the only thing that can make his career better.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's now 18th on the all-time NCAA list 183 behind Bobby Hurley.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think we need to start a countdown every reaction podcast and every Purdue report.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: We need to start having some kind of countdown.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is now 183 behind the great Bobby Hurley.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I know Jake, you weren't around during the Bobby Hurley days.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: That is not an exaggeration, the great Bobby Hurley.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: was not around then, but I've heard obviously really get things about him and if you've gone over some of the names on the list in front of them, he's got a little bit of ways to do here, but he is on pace right now at this current rate.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have a significant margin by about 50 or so if you keep this up, he's been playing really well and don't know if it will keep up, but obviously
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: could be a subplot at the final four if that turns out to be where Purdue winds up.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Purdue, Jake by the way, felt one spot in the rankings this morning.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: in the coaches pole from fifth to sixth, Duke passed them.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think anybody cares.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now, 13 and one, three and oh, in the big tin, also unbeaten in the big tin is number one Michigan.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: And number 13 Nebraska, both of those teams are actually unbeaten and Purdue also, all three and oh, in the big tin.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was watching the Michigan State Nebraska game, you know, the nine, and that was a really good game.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to shoot my own war with my Nebraska prediction and taking me in the season was turned out to be a pretty good one, hopefully they can keep it up and they've just been playing really good basketball, so definitely want to produce toughest games on the road for sure in one of the toughest games in general, a lot of left on the schedule.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I watch the game with our IU guy Grant Shows and it's hard to say at this point that Nebraska
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: they certainly are.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I imagine they'll kind of catapult here in the in the rankings after beating Michigan State.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we can be looking at at top 10 Nebraska.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: So let's talk about top 10 Purdue.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: This was a game against Wisconsin the earlier in the year.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I said stop me when you see a game we could lose in the big tin and you and my bridge both
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: at Wisconsin.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it was definitely a concerning kind of game.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: In fact, they're five and four against top 10 Purdue teams since 2018.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, they're kind of stunned me how often producing the top 10.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's what stood out to me.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And people like me, old people will never forget the 2000 Wisconsin.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: And
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I will always hate that place and they got me under early Jake, but even with all of that playing against him, I never had any doubts that we're going to win that game.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't so sure, until they produced able to build that leap there going into half.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're up by seven and a half, I believe.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: But once they built that margin, I was like, all right, Purdue kind of seems a control here.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you read off that stat.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: It kind of shows why going into the season.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was pretty nervous for that game going into the season.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's constant people thought they were a lot better than what they are me being one of those people.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they've kind of showed here to, you know, they're not as good as what, you know, I kind of thought they were going into the season so that this may not.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right now, I believe it is a quad one win for the net rankings, but not sure if that will not sure if that'll hold up there by the season, they're not a bad big tinting.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're probably going to be a mid back big tinting.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: They could kind of figure it out here towards the end of the season and yeah, it might be a turn on.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure, so that Wisconsin returns to West Laugh yet for senior day, March 7th at 4 o'clock.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, be a big day for Braden Smith and T.K.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: are an influential lawyer, and then as well, Oscar Cleff and me and Murphy, I get to kind of celebrate them and honor them for, you know, what all they've given to the program.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm sure they'll be looking to spoil that day for us.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's still got to make the trip to West Lafayette and that's the place last year that they came in and beat Purdue.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Certainly, if they do get their stuff together, it could be a tough game to end the regular season.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, uh, I think this is an appropriate time to do it on this Wednesday's Purdue report.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: We need to talk about our Mount Rushmore of Purdue players because if Braden Smith is not on it yet, he's awfully close to being on that.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we need to talk about best trios of Purdue players because there have been some really good ones.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not sure this isn't the best, but we'll talk about that on Wednesday.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sounds good.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, we all watched the Iowa State game and it was painful in a watch, but since then, they played five games, they're winning those games by an average of 26.6 points per game.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: All of those teams that Purdue played rank somewhere between a competent team and good competition, they just looked really good since the Lost Iowa State.
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have, and we talked about, kind of around that time that we thought
• 9:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: kind of learned from from that loss and and I was going to be better for him in a long run.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue hasn't had a win that's been less than 16 points since November since Thanksgiving basically against the game against Memphis.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just a good stretch here outside that Iowa State Game over which is, you know, I don't want to say beat enough on teams because they're not necessarily going out there and try to wrap the score.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: you know that they've worked pretty good here over that in basically really since that that loss and got another chance here on the seventh against Washington at home at 30 on at on the big 10 network.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So there are team that you're getting kind of coming in.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: People thought might be more of a dark horse for the big 10 team in chip.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: They haven't really paned out either lived up to their expectations, but it got some good players for sure.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then some of them all will talk.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to get a little closer there.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it looks like a pretty easy week this week.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Nine and four Washington nine and five Penn State at Mackie.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Purdue had five players in double figures the eighth time this year.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Fletcher lawyer hit four threes.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, produce now 19 and no when he makes at least four threes.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: So let's make that a priority.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Certainly didn't seem like a fluke that hot shooting night for Purdue is really able to
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: with pace and executing on the looks that they were able to generate.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: As we've seen before, as I was talking about before, and some of the past few games, early in the second half, Wisconsin was able to cut the lead down to four, but then pretty response with a 26 to seven run that really kind of just removed all doubt from the game.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that strategy, like more than that, it seemed like a 50 to three run.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we saw after Brad and Smith got that record,
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: The team was pretty loose there and a stop story trying and we saw Wisconsin kind of pull back within like a 13 or so, a stretch at 26 to 7 run.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really, it really looks like a veteran team and a team that's poised to win games like this in March.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Final score of 89 to 73 does not at all tell the story.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It felt like a pretty one by 30.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oscar clef 28th career double double 12 points 11 rebounds.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think what impressed me the most Jake watching that game was his setting picks in his player movement is outstanding.
• 11:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: He fits right in.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: He does song gives his hands on them of those loose balls.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really that the whole team I feel like was showing one effort.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a time in the second half
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: got the ball called a timeout to save the possession.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: The whole team is his hype and you kind of run out there on the floor.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Coach Painter was even was even getting pretty amped up for that, which is great to see, but gum back to Fudge the war.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he was the MVP of the night of the 20 points.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was diving on the floor too.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had good post feeds, had good team defense, which we've talked about.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I completely gave him a feeling like a winning player.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to want you some games in March, but to your point, Officer Cloth looked really good.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Daniel Jacobson looked pretty good.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: His presence definitely changed some shots at the RAM, TKR, had a chase down block that saved some points.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think a lawyer even flushed the lawyer even had a block, yeah, they were just playing pretty active and disrupted defense and they were staying connected, which against stuff that you want to see continue throughout the season.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: shot nine of 29 to the field.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's his credit to what defensive Purdue is able to play.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned it a little bit.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: The thing that surprised me most about Oscar Kloff is his defense.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he's necessarily a great one-on-one defender, but he is without question a plus defender.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Even with his big body that doesn't move that fast, we saw him even get into a passing lane.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was really impressed with his player movement, his pick setting and his defense.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: about defense here in the first half, it was able to generate 11 points off of Wisconsin's first half turnover.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's, of course, it's really good.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's how you make turnovers.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it kind of kill teams is by scoring off of them.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they did a good job doing that.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: In some methods, it's really good running in transition off of the steals.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's really where Purdue becomes lethal, really.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of think it back to some of the, the prior games against Wisconsin,
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It kind of grind out these wins real physical low scoring games, but for you, you know, really kind of put that script here for this game.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned Drake Hoffman ran 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds like a pedestrian game, but he was really good.
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I kind of thought now that we've gotten into a big 10 play that, you know, he might get a little more usage in the offensive.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: score some more points, yet five rebounds.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's one of the lowest performances for the season, but moving is still pretty effective.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: We talked about that block.
• 14:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had three assists, a really good passing game for him.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to say what I said.
• 14:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I found trouble too, only had one foul.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that's kind of foul trouble not to go back to Brayden Smith here, but Matt Payner really kind of showed it his trust and and Brayden Smith with with 16 minutes and
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, you know, Brad Smith got his third foul.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Matt Painter said to leave men, uh, Purdue immediately goes on to score 10 straight points.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, just cool to see that kind of trust, uh, between Matt Painter and Brad Smith.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we, uh, down here in the southern part of Indiana, where I spend much of my time near sellersburg, where, of course, Drake often is from that little floater of his or whatever it is.
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: We call it the sellersburg shot put just so you know, it, this turn of looks like a shot put, uh, but it goes in form so that there's a couple that, that I, I think you know, my makes.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's certainly unique and, and not something that we see a whole lot in basketball.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just three points for Omer Mayor Jake, I can tell there's a special player and they're just waiting to get out.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they cam CJ Cox and Jakara Harris booked.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: They look fairly good in this game.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think over my hair had a pretty, pretty clutch shot from the corner in this game.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think there's certainly showing signs of being a good player and one that produce really going to have to rely on next year alongside no strategic cocks into car hares.
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: In the minutes, I feel like they were pretty opportunistic and aggressive.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: They weren't really a propassive.
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd really like to see the car hares as confidence and shooting the three, I know he was two for five, two for seven overall from the field.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the stats, I may not show in this game, how valuable that was, but I saw him take some shots that maybe last year probably doesn't take in.
• 16:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's quite a scene he's comfortable taking that and it's kind of surprising me with how good of a shooter he's become.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: So nice to see that, and CJ Cox too, just kind of seems like a guy that would ever need a shot knock down, he's gonna make it.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: We've barely mentioned CJ Cox.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: They got to be the best player on an awful lot of good college basketball teams.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I know it's beginning of the year.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: We kind of talked about how Purdue has seven or eight starters on their team.
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you certainly one of them that could go a lot of different places.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the one of the best of them out the best player.
• 17:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Fourth time in the last five years, Purdue has at least 13 wins in their first 14 games.
• 17:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: amazing.
• 17:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: They sell in the broadcast that this was one of the few times that Matt Painters gone three to know of the big 10 during his tenure.
• 17:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that was something I was pretty surprised of kind of thinking of some of these good teams that they've had over the years, but three know, still a control of their own destiny and the conference.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like we've talked about before having that that that favorable home schedule is certainly something that
• 17:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're, uh, I believe it would be 27th big 10 championship.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's amazing.
• 18:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: That painter's seven hundred's game yesterday.
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: 484 wins amazing.
• 18:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really blessed and fortunate he is, uh, the coach of my favorite team.
• 18:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: So what isn't like we could do it.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: You better than team Katie and amazingly we did for sure.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, I saw something online.
• 18:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Somebody was talking about.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: is that if your game, I think it was around like 2011 or so, or what Purdue was, was up big on the road, and they came back in and lost that game.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, the team wasn't playing quite to playing as a team.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are few individuals out there playing trying to score and take bad shots and things like that.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that was probably a pretty good turning point for Purdue, or for your format painter, and getting guys that are going to come in and play as a team.
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, Brandon Smith has said it.
• 18:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care how many points on your how many assists I get.
• 18:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just went away and those are the guys that that you want on your team.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Last thing, Jake, I know this might be controversial.
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really like Jason Bonetti and Jim Jackson.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really like Jason Bonetti.
• 19:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really like to when he was paired up with Robbie Hummel.
• 19:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there's been probably been a year or two since it been paired up, but I thought they were really good teams of them.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Jim Jackson, I thought that they had a, they sounded pretty good on the, on the broadcast in my opinion.
• 19:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: So um, yeah, I'm sure there's probably some people out there that they'll disagree, but um, I like Jason Benetti made mainly, but I'm Jim Jackson was, it was good to go along with them for sure.
• 19:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake Dunn, that was a lot of fun.
• 19:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk on Wednesday.
• 19:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sounds good.
• 19:49
