Braden Smith - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

10 dimes in huge win Smith produced 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 80-77 OT win over Nebraska.

Impact Smith hadn't notched double-digit assists since Jan. 24, but he resumed his role as a top-tier facilitator on the road in Lincoln. He also pulled down eight rebounds, a season-high. He's been a tad cold as a shooter as of late, scoring 13 points in back-to-back games but going just 10-of-27 from the field in that span. Still, Smith always impacts the game even when he's not scoring at an efficient rate, and remains an excellent option for fantasy managers.

27 points not enough to top Illini Smith amassed 27 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 88-82 loss to Illinois.

Impact Smith, as he's been all season, was extremely efficient from the field and dynamic as a passer. Still, that wasn't enough to top the Illini as a historic 46-point performance from freshman Keaton Wagler powered them to victory. Smith couldn't be asked to do much more, and Purdue won't always have the misfortune of being on the wrong end of a historic offensive performance. His scoring has been down a touch this year, but Saturday was a reminder that the point guard can still pile on the points.
