Quote of the Day
“I was looking at the Braden Smith kid last night. That was the first time I had seen him in person. The thing that jumped out to me, what makes him so good, look at his size (6 foot, 170 pounds). Not very big, right? But he knows how to compete. He changes the game with his competitiveness. He’s not only Purdue’s best player. He’s their identity.”
-Houston coach Kelvin Sampson
