Miami is heading into its toughest game of the season, and it starts with stopping one of the best point guards in the country.
Braden Smith is the dude that gets everything going for Purdue. A three-year starter and elite passer, he controls everything the Boilermakers do on the offensive end. Miami will have to slow him down.
Braden is currently averaging a total of 14.3 points per game, 3.6 rebounds, and leads the nation with 9.0 assist per game. He is also shooting a total of 45.4%, and shooting 37.7% from behind the arc. Braden is your old traditional old point guard that can make the game fun to watch.
Smith, also broke the all time leader in assists, against the win over Queens in the Round of 64 yesterday afternoon.
Tre Donaldson can match him on the right day. Last season at Michigan, he went 1-1 against Purdue, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. Tre had six turnovers in the loss, just one in the Big Ten Tournament win.
Malik Reneau also played against the Boilermakers, going 3-3 against Purdue at Indiana.
Miami matches up pretty well against the Boilermakers and even is a pick for a lot of media people.
