“Congratulations to both Braden [Smith] and Raven [Colvin] on being named the Purdue Athletes of the Year for their efforts during the past season. Braden had an outstanding season for us, being named a first-team consensus All-American, the Big Ten Player of the Year and the recipient of the Bob Cousy Award given to the nation’s top point guard. We are proud of the season and career he has had thus far and think his best basketball is still ahead of him.”
– Purdue coach Matt Painter
