That's gotta be mighty impressive to do at a program as storied as Indiana. Congrats to the kid. He looked good when I flipped between their tOSU game and the playoffs.

Exactly what I was thinking. Picking up any such record would be cool...but picking up a record like that at IU ain't exactly easy.

Guy was a big reason this program got turned around. Class act.

Turned around?

Ayyy man...

Sorry, had to. :) love me some hoosiers though!

Probably because you've kicked our ass regularly over the last 8 years.

sick pass too

Kinda cool to have the career assists leader and football passing yards leader as seniors in the same year.

A great four year player who deserves some more attention

I wish that clip went 5 seconds longer. Set the assist record then immediately forced a turnover on the other end.

Yogi has been a great team player his entire career at Indiana and this is hopefully just one of the fruits of that labor coming to bear now in his senior year. He's going to really pile onto this record. He should reach 600 assists, hopefully with a few dozen in March.
And the no-look pass he broke the record on? Nifty highlight.

What impresses me is that he has also been our leading scorer for 3 of his 4 years, while racking up those assists.

I mean the guy barely sits these days

Neat!

551 and counting.

So cool that it was that sick no-look to Bielfeldt too.

And all it took was being in school seemingly forever.

It does seem strange when a decent player is around for 4 years.

He's kind of like Perry Ellis in that way. Except that I would way rather have Yogi Ferrell for 4 years than Perry. Sorry Perry.

Very impressive, I'm happy for the kid. He still has ~half of the season left to improve and solidify that record for years to come

Woof. Purdue's assist record is 690.

Was the player who got it on one of their championship teams?
...oh wait
edit: in-it*

Actually, no he wasn't. Funny, I would have thought that an IU fan would know that Purdue hasn't won a championship, since they live in the past.

Definitely deserves it; he gives 100% every game. Kinda helps to play all four years, too.
For sure. His freshman year we were the 1 seed.
4 years as starring point guard gives you a shot at this record. His insane passing ability gives him the number 1 spot. He's gonna crush it too. Still have half a season!
