Braden Smith entered Purdue’s first-round game in the NCAA men’s tournament vs. Queens needing two assists to make history. Smith now stands alone at the top of the NCAA’s all-time assists list with 1,077 and counting.
Smith on Friday became the most accomplished passer in men’s college basketball history, as the Purdue senior point guard surpassed Duke legend Bobby Hurley on the NCAA’s all-time assists list during the first half of the Boilermakers’ game against Queens. Hurley set the previous mark of 1,076 during his tenure with the Blue Devils from 1990 to ’93.
