Braden Smith - 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.

Last Night in College Basketball: UCLA Upsets No. 4 Purdue in Big Ten Shocker

Jack Benter - Minor participant in upset loss Benter registered four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 69-67 loss to UCLA.

Impact It appeared as through Benter's playing time could be expanding after he logged 20 minutes in the win over USC, parlaying that into five points, seven rebounds, two assists and a steal. That could very well still be the case, but he was much quieter as the Boilermakers dropped their first Big Ten game on the road at UCLA. Until proven otherwise, we should assume Benter remains a small part of the Boilermakers' rotation at this point.

Braden Smith - Labeled questionable for Tuesday Smith is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against UCLA due to an unspecified injury.

Impact Smith is at risk of missing his first game of the season, but it's unclear why he popped up on the injury report for Tuesday's game. The star point guard is in the midst of another excellent season, averaging 14.7 points, 9.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals across 32.9 minutes per game. If Smith can't play, Gicarri Harris or Omer Mayer could step into the starting lineup.
