We need a word for freshman years like Morez Johnson Jr. and Caleb Swanigan. Like the seasons where you say "this guy isn't ready, but he's showing a lot, and I bet he'll settle his game and be a beast next season."

Amare Bynum had one of those for the Buckeyes. Hopefully the sophomore year is also with the Buckeyes.

FFS. I walk in from us going out to order a new table and walk in the house to see Purdue is up 58-48. Now only 64-62.

I almost wrote him in there, but forgot his name and had to go somewhere. He's def in that group.

Purdue pulls it out. 

With 9 assists, Smith moves up to 1,064, and needs 12 to share and 13 to own the record. Given that Purdue is playing again tomorrow and will obviously be in the NCAAT R64, he is likely to take the record in the R64 game. 

That said, I hope he plays 7 more games from here on out.
