Purdue Basketball: Eric Hunter Jr. for B1G Defensive Player of the Year

Marcus Carr was put in a box for forty minutes.

In 38 minutes of playing time, Carr had 4 points, he is the Gophers leading scorer, typically scoring over 20 points per game.

Sure, you can look at the box score for Eric Hunter and see he only scored 4 points in 38 minutes and hasn’t been scoring much this year in comparison to last year.

But, that scoring is not needed.

Hunter brings it on the defensive side of the ball every single night.

When he missed a few games to start the season, you could tell that the perimeter defense suffered.
