DETROIT – The official tweet about Isaac Haas was so startling, even Haas might have wondered if it came from a fake account. An hour earlier, he had sat in the Purdue locker room and told everybody his right elbow was fine. Now here was Purdue, announcing he had fractured it.
Haas’s season is over. Purdue’s season might end soon. And if you believe the sports world is just and fair, you would get a strong argument from anybody in West Lafayette with a sense of history.
Haas hit the floor hard in the second half of a blowout win over Cal State-Fullerton on Thursday—well, 7’2”, 290-pound men don’t hit the floor gently.
