Caden Pierce - Commits to Purdue Pierce (redshirt) announced his commitment to Purdue on Friday.

Impact Pierce will still redshirt his 2025-26 season, so the earliest Purdue can use him is next fall. Ideally for the Boilermakers, he can replace Trey Kaufman-Renn, Purdue's superstar forward who will graduate after this season. Pierce provides a solid background from Princeton, whose previous two campaigns saw him average at least 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists as the Tigers' main man down low.

Last Night in College Basketball: Unranked Wisconsin Gets 2nd Top-10 Road W

Oscar Cluff - Too much for Nebraska down low Cluff totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 80-77 OT win over Nebraska.

Impact Nebraska simply didn't have anyone that could contain Cluff on the interior. The 6-foot-11 senior gobbled up rebounds all night, including a whopping 10 offensive boards to help Purdue keep possessions alive. Couple that with 12 points, his most since Jan. 17 and his first time scoring in double figures since then, and it was a highly productive day for Cluff.

Jack Benter - Solid showing off bench Benter ended Tuesday's 80-77 OT victory over Nebraska with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 19 minutes.

Impact Benter has been a small part of the Boilermakers' rotation in his freshman season, but in a thrilling, narrow road win over Nebraska, his seven points, four boards and two steals were crucial in helping push Purdue over the top. He put up his most shots from the field since Jan. 14, leading the charge off the bench. Don't expect any big outings from the freshman wing anytime soon, but he's gaining valuable experience and contributing positive minutes in big games.

Braden Smith - 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.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Career-high 19 boards Kaufman-Renn supplied six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 19 rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 80-77 OT victory over Nebraska.

Impact Kaufman-Renn was an absolute menace on the glass for Purdue, and his 19 rebounds were easily a career high. He scored just six points, but Purdue got much of its scoring production from its guards and wings in Lincoln. His minor scoring output looks like an outlier; meanwhile, he's been electric on the glass as of late, with 37 boards over his last three games.
