A 29-point win created a moment that even Matt Painter could laugh at. His player substituted himself in, and was promptly lifted.

Loyer and Smith each made seven 3-pointers as the Boilermakers went 18 of 36 from beyond the arc. Trey Kaufman-Renn added 16 points for Purdue (21-9, 13-6 Big Ten), which has won two in a row following a four-game skid.

Purdue guard Braden Smith became the first player ever to score 1,250 points, dish out 700 assists and grab 500 rebounds by the end of his junior season.
