The Boilermakers move up to No. 12 in Saturday's CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 after steamrolling over the Wolverines

"Sometimes these things happen," Michigan basketball coach Dusty May said. "We're going to learn from this and we've got a lot of basketball to play."

After losing to Ohio State on Tuesday to snap their seven-game winning streak, the Purdue Boilermakers took it to Michigan in every which way. The post #11 Purdue, Smith Dominate #21 Michigan appeared first on Stadium Rant.

Purdue point guard Braden Smith took Tuesday night’s loss personally. So Friday, he took charge — right from the start.

Braden Smith had 24 points and 10 assists to lead No. 11 Purdue to a 91-64 rout of No. 21 Michigan in West Lafayette, Ind., on Friday in a Big Ten contest.

Braden Smith had 24 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and four steals to help No. 11 Purdue rout No. 21 Michigan 91-64 on Friday night. Smith was 10 of 17 from the field and had only one turnover in 37 minutes to nearly join Joe Barry Carroll as the only Purdue players with a triple-double.

After struggling the past few weeks, the Michigan Wolverines had a big opportunity to not only rebound but thrive, going on the road to face No. 11 Purdue. However, Michigan basketball started out flat in West Lafayette, turning the ball over twice early and allowing the Boilermakers to jump out to a 6-0 lead.
