Ann Arbor — Purdue forward Trevion Williams followed a simple rule.
If he faced single coverage, attack the basket. If he faced double coverage, pass it.
“Coach (Matt Painter) always tells us if you're one-on-one in the post, score. There's no reason to pass it, go score it,” Williams said. “It was a rule before and it’s a rule now. If you don't follow it, you're probably going to come out the game."
Williams, a former Detroit Henry Ford Academy standout, rarely did as he became the latest Big Ten big man to put up big numbers against Michigan with 36 points and 20 rebounds in Thursday night’s 84-78 double-overtime loss at Crisler Center.
