Smith recorded 34 points and 12 assists as Purdue secured an 83-64 home win to close its nonconference schedule.

Braden Smith set career highs with 34 points and 12 assists, shooting 12-of-22 from the field and 6-of-13 from three-point range.
Purdue's top three scorers—Smith, Trey Kaufman-Renn (23 points), and Fletcher Loyer (17 points)—accounted for 74 of the team's 83 points.
The Boilermakers used a dominant 18-2 first-half run and a decisive 17-2 second-half surge to pull away from Toledo, who briefly closed within five points in the second half.
