Purdue basketball is showing a new level of grit thanks to Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman-Renn. Smith’s fired-up, controlled defense has been setting the tone, making the whole team more locked in. Meanwhile, Kaufman-Renn’s relentless rebounding has turned a former weakness into a real strength. When your top players are hustling this hard, it’s contagious—everyone steps up. With a big game against Auburn in Indy coming up, it feels like Purdue’s leadership could be the edge that takes them even further this season. How do you see this energy shift impacting their run? #Sports #Purdue #Boilermakers
