Indiana men’s basketball vs. Purdue: Q&A with Hammer and Rails

Indiana men’s basketball is set to host Purdue in Bloomington for the first of two rivalry matchups this season.

We reached out to the folks at Hammer and Rails to talk ball, here’s what they had to say:

1. Purdue returns most of its lineup from last season. Which players have taken the biggest step forward?

The obvious choice here is Braden Smith. He was great as a freshman don’t get me wrong but he’s truly taken his game to the next level this year. He’s improved in basically all areas.
