Purdue set the tone from the opening jump on Friday night. The defensive effort and Braden Smith's impressive night led to a blowout win over Michigan.

WEST LAFAYETTE – Purdue basketball responded to its first disappointing result in a month with its most dominant performance of the season. Plenty of high marks to go around for the No. 12 Boilermakers’ 91-64 victory over No. 20 Michigan at Mackey Arena.

With his dominant performance, Braden Smith took control of Michigan from the jump and performed strong until the end.

He turned an opening possession steal into a breakaway layup, and finished with 24 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes as the No. 11 Purdue Boilermakers ran away from No.

Braden Smith, fueled by self-blame, amassed an unprecedented night in an attention-grabbing victory over Michigan.
