NCAA Tournament: Purdue Basketball - Small Ball, Big Hearts
The bombshell of Isaac Haas possibly being able to play after initially being ruled out is making almost as big a sound on social media as the big man’s body and elbow did hitting the hardwood on Friday.

It’s the worst things about sports,” PJ Thompson says in the Piston’s locker room, on a Friday that saw Haas’s diagnosis go from absolutely out to expected to be out but dressing by Coach Matt Painter after Haas practiced with the team that morning thanks to a brace on his injured right arm and elbow.
