Braden Smith currently sits at 1,020 career assists, 56 behind Bobby Hurley at 1,076. He's currently 4th on the all-time list, but getting an additional 19 would move him to 2nd. With the remaining schedule, 2nd should be easy to reach.
For the record, he's gonna need wins to extend the season. He's averaging 8.7 apg this year. Which means that based on current average, he'd need 7 games to get the record. Obviously he's basically guaranteed 3 more games (vUW, BTT, NCAAT). But whether he's got enough run to get to 1,077 will take some wins in both tournaments. If Purdue makes it to the BTTCG, win or lose, that gets him to 6 games. If his assist rate is a little better than average, that might be enough, or it might still require getting to R32. If Purdue doesn't make it to the Saturday or Sunday BTT games, then it almost assuredly means Purdue must make the second weekend of the NCAAT for him to reach the record.
Of course if Purdue plays 11 more games from here on out, it should be no problem
