Purdue's basketball team, led by players like Zach Edey and Braden Smith, secured the outright Big Ten title with impressive performances. Braden Smith is praised for his all-American season and is considered a first-team all-Big Ten player. The team's resilience and toughness were highlighted in a comeback win against Illinois.
A dominant 28-point performance from Zach Edey helped @BoilerBall claim their second consecutive outright @bigten title! 👏 📍 @Old_National https://t.co/UwY6S7fJfu
A visiting player had a DUI but Illinois’ leading scorer has an active RAPE charge, so Illini fans backed off… no, they didn’t. But Mason Gillis had the last laugh - literally - Purdue won the Big Ten outright and Braden Smith sent the crowd home to bed. https://t.co/rv8N6BWvSS
Lots to say after Purdue wins outright Big Ten title. Zach Edey and Braden Smith are All-Americans. Fletcher Loyer is back. And the Illinois crowd is ugly. Mocking a Boiler's 2-year-old DUI, while Illini star Terrence Shannon plays with active rape charge? https://t.co/rv8N6BWvSS
First of a bunch of stories from Purdue's win at Illinois comes from insidee @samueltking at State Farm Arena in Champaign, where clutch shooting late from Fletcher Loyer and Braden Smith lifted the Boilers over the Illini for the outright Big Ten title. https://t.co/EZqS2h3GwX
No one should have any doubts about @BoilerBall toughness and resiliency. The comeback win @IlliniMBB might be the Boilermakers most impressive W in quite some time. And Braden Smith is a LOCK for first-team all-@B1GMBBall and is having an all-American season.
