Purdue center Isaac Haas finished with a team-high 16 points.
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Purdue coach Matt Painter sends Isaac Haas, a 7-foot-2 center, out with his starting lineup.
Then Painter has the luxury of bringing 7-footer A.J. Hammons off the bench.
If that doesn't sound intimidating, just ask the Old Dominion Monarchs.
Haas and Hammons combined for 28 points and 14 rebounds Saturday and No. 21 Purdue (4-0) defeated Old Dominion 61-39 in the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.
Hammons scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half and guard Kendall Stephens sparked a second-half run with nine of his 12 points after halftime as Purdue overcame a shaky start to win impressively.
