Boilermakers point guard Braden Smith turned defense into offense on the first possession and fueled Purdue's bounce back win against Michigan.

After blowing a 16-point lead in their last outing against Ohio State, No. 11 Purdue (16-5, 8-2) came into their home building with murderous intent, and the Wolverines were their victims. The Boilermakers jumped to a 13-2 lead to start the game and never looked back, delivering a 91-64 beatdown of No. 21 Michigan (14-5, 6-2) on Friday night.

While Purdue was carried by center Zach Edey last season, this year's team is far less imposing in the paint and ranks 134th in rebounding rate. Meanwhile, Michigan is 21st in rebounding rate and is anchored by a pair of seven-footers in Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf.
