Braden Smith flirts with triple-double again as No. 1 Purdue routs Texas Southern 99-67

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:38:33 GMT

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue coach Matt Painter understood Braden Smith was chasing history Tuesday night.He just wasn’t going to let it happen by running up the stats.For the second time this season, Smith flirted with posting the second triple-double in the Boilermakers’ storied history, settling instead for leading newly minted No. 1 Purdue to a 99-67 rout over Texas Southern.Smith finished with 19 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds after having one board added with a postgame scoring change. Joe Barry Carroll, a No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, is the only Purdue player to achieve the feat, which came in December 1977.“There’s nothing wrong with it if he’s still in the game,” Painter said. “But once you take somebody out, you don’t cheat the game. You don’t put him back in to get a record, which is really cool, right? I want him to get it, but not at the expense of the other coach.”Just 2 1/2 weeks ago, Smith joked he was upset he didn’t get his shot at a triple-double when ...

A star player pushing for a trade. The first five weeks of the season have quickly tanked any hopes the rebuild centered on Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vučević would finally begin to click.Karnišovas acknowledged the gravity of the situation in a brief conversation with three reporters at the team’s shootaround in Boston before Tuesday night’s 124-97 loss to the Celtics.“We see what everyone is seeing and are just as frustrated,” Karnišovas said. “We’re disappointed, but I’m not running from it. It’s my responsibility.”This is not the season the Bulls were expecting. That has been clear from top to bottom. The front office returned the majority of the roster with the expectation the Bulls could build off th...
