PURDUE BOILERMAKERS NEWS

Liam Murphy - Out vs. EIU Murphy (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against Eastern Illinois, according to Nathan Baird of IndyStar.com.

Impact Purdue is back from the Baha Mar Championship with a week of rest, but it was not enough for Murphy to gain clearance. But within the week, Murphy was able to practice some, and the development suggests he may be available for Rutgers come Tuesday.

Fletcher Loyer - 20-piece in win Loyer closed Thursday's 80-71 win over Memphis with 20 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 32 minutes.

Impact Purdue's tilt with Memphis was a little closer than the Boilermaker faithful would've liked, but Loyer had one of his best games of the season. With 14 shots, he was the most assertive as a scorer he's been this year, and he knocked down four triples in the process. Loyer's efficiency has improved this season in every shooting category, and he looks on track for a career year in West Lafayette.

Impact Murphy has missed the Boilermakers' last two games and will miss at least two more. The North Florida transfer will reportedly be re-evaluated in a week, but his MRI came back negative. At the earliest, Purdue could have Murphy back against Eastern Illinois on Nov. 28.

Oscar Cluff - Best individual performance Sunday Cluff totaled 14 points (7-9 FG), 14 rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 97-79 win over Akron.

Impact Cluff has settled in well with his new squad, posting nine or more points (and rebounds) in all four games to begin the 2025-26 season. He won't be relied upon as much as a scorer now that he's sharing a frontcourt with Trey Kaufman-Renn (20.1 ppg in 2024-25), but his 11.0 rpg average shows that he'll continue to be a force on the glass despite moving to a power-conference team. The added attention playing alongside TKR appears to be helping his efficiency too, as he's shooting a career-best 66.7 percent from the field.

Omer Mayer - 14 off the bench Mayer amassed 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 97-79 victory over Akron.

Impact Mayer's 23 minutes were the most of his young career, and he made the most of them with 14 points on 50 percent shooting from the field. With four boards and six dimes as well, the Israeli-born freshman was all over the court. He appears to be a fixture of the Boilermakers' bench and should have a significant role all season.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Big double-double in win Kaufman-Renn posted 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 97-79 win over Akron.

Impact Kaufman-Renn is off to an explosive start to the season. After a 19-point, 15-rebound double-double in a huge win over Alabama, the forward once again pulled down 15 boards in a much easier win over Akron. He averaged 6.5 rebounds last year, but has been significantly more assertive on the glass through two games in 2025-2026. Kaufman-Renn looks like a man possessed for the Boilermakers early on.

Braden Smith - First double-double of '25-26 Smith closed with 16 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 97-79 victory over Akron.

Impact Smith has been electric this season, including his 29-point showing in a massive takedown of Alabama. Still, the win over the Zips was the first time the All-American point guard logged a double-double this season. It's his second double-digit assist game this season, and while he was rather cold from the field hitting just 4-of-12 shots, he's still been excellent overall as a scorer and is shooting 40 percent from downtown on 5.0 attempts per game. Smith's exploits have helped pilot the Boilermakers back into the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll.
