Deals out 16 assists Smith closed with five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, 16 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 81-68 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Smith passed both Ed Cota and Chris Corchiani, ACC legends both, into second place in the all-time collegiate assist leaders. He is still 31 dimes short of Bobby Hurley, but a couple of Big Ten Tournament wins more could help the 6-0 senior complete his quest. The Boilermakers take on Nebraska on Friday. Smith had 13 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists in the Feb. 10 win over the Huskers.

Scores 20, deals nine dimes Smith accumulated 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 97-93 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Smith now has 1029 assists on his career to fall one short of Ed Cota, the North Carolina guard who closed his career in 2000. Smith will need 47 assists to pass Bobby Hurley as the all-time assist leader. The good news is that the loss gave Purdue an extra game on Thursday in the Big Ten Tournament, which will start for the Boilermakers on Thursday. Purdue lost three of its last four games and will need to turn things around for Smith to have a chance at the record.

Reaches 1,000 career assists Smith closed Thursday's 76-74 loss to Michigan State with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 37 minutes.

Impact Smith has been a four-year starter at Purdue, and in his 138th collegiate game, he became the fifth college basketball player of all-time to accumulate 1,000 career assists, recording the milestone number on a first-half basket by Trey Kaufman-Renn. Smith now has a realistic chance to catch Bobby Hurley for the all-time mark of 1.076. Purdue has three more regular season games remaining before the Big Ten Tournament and a sure NCAA Tournament bid.
