The Boilermakers move up to No. 12 in Saturday's CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 after steamrolling over the Wolverines

Purdue saw a 16-point first half lead against Ohio State vanish in a loss. Friday against Michigan, the Boilers kept pouring it on.

Braden Smith, fueled by self-blame, amassed an unprecedented night in an attention-grabbing victory over Michigan.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue point guard Braden Smith took a loss Tuesday night personally. So Friday night, he took charge — right from the start.

Goldin finished with 14 points and Nimari Burnett, Tre Donaldson and Roddy Gayle Jr. all scored 11 apiece for Michigan. The Wolverines shot 37% from the field, finished 6-for-29 from deep, and had more turnovers (22) than made baskets (20).

Braden Smith had 24 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and four steals to help No. 11 Purdue rout No. 21 Michigan 91-64 on Friday night. Smith was 10 of 17 from the field and had only one turnover in 37 minutes to nearly join Joe Barry Carroll as the only Purdue players with a triple-double.

After struggling the past few weeks, the Michigan Wolverines had a big opportunity to not only rebound but thrive, going on the road to face No. 11 Purdue. However, Michigan basketball started out flat in West Lafayette, turning the ball over twice early and allowing the Boilermakers to jump out to a 6-0 lead.

Boilermakers point guard Braden Smith turned defense into offense on the first possession and fueled Purdue's bounce back win against Michigan.
