Braden Smith’s Record-Breaking Assist Feat Still Resonating After NCAA Tourney Milestone
Purdue guard Braden Smith has broken the NCAA all-time assists record, surpassing Bobby Hurley’s long-standing mark during the team’s first-round March Madness win. Despite the historic achievement, Smith expressed that it hasn’t fully set in, viewing it as a fulfillment of his role as a point guard.
The record’s significance is amplified by the current trends in college basketball, making Smith’s four-year commitment and accumulated assists a potentially enduring milestone.
