Huge blow to the Boilermakers...I thought this could be their year...will be a lot tougher without Haas now...
Sorry, Purdue related...Haas done for the year...
- Thread starter Hoosier Manic
- Start date
Too bad. Seems to be a good kid. No tears for Purdue though....

I dunno. This could be one of those motivating events that cause a team to really focus and come together. They still have the other big Matt Haarms.
Injuries to key players can really alter a teams chances to be victorious. Scott May’s injury comes to mind.
Also Henderson when it always seem like we had to play Kansas in tournament
****. One of my winners. I am also rooting for them. Saw the play. The CSF player was dirty and should have been T’ed up. The consolidation is that Haarms is not a big drop off from Haas.
Oh hell — no need to apologize for that post. I’d prefer Purdue would get eliminated while at full strength but whatever.
Did he break his elbow while connecting with an opponent’s face again or some other way? (Couldn’t find a video.)
No it was being pulled to the ground on a dirty play.
It’s a pretty big drop-off at least on offense. Haas draws so many fouls and just impacts the game so much on offense. Haarms isn’t close to that.
You guys are cursed ...
Ouch, feel for the kid. I know they are a "rival", but couldn't hate their team this year. Not much of a chance without him drawing that attention in the middle. Who would even be the backup center now? I think it does help them defensively, though (other than depth and drawing fouls). Tough break for them...
I feel badly for Issac and his teammates. He seems like a good kid. He has a future in the game.
It wasn't a dirty play I saw it three times as the news broke. He fell backward as he pulled in the rebound, nothing more.
Actually, I thought the play was dirty in real time and after seeing the replay.
Often hurt Jaquil Taylor will be the backup. Hasn't played much this year. Should contribute defensively.
Of course you didn’t think it was dirty play. If it was Haas that did it to the other guy, you’d be claiming it was dirty.
Dear god. Why does someone always have to be blamed? The kid fell awkwardly. No one threw him to the floor.
Feel bad for the kid.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
I feel bad for the kid, not so much for Purdoo.
It gives them an excuse. Now we will have to hear how they would have won a championship this year if not for the loss of Haas.

No doubt. Another kick in the nuts. This is a tough one. He’s such a good kid. Sucks.
It's tough. Not a Purdue fan but these guys earned the right to go as far as they could. I never wish an injury on any team.
Aren’t you the fan base that has a book called “missing banners” where all that is discussed is how you “almost” won a national championship? Just curious.
Yep. It’s a tough one. But, it’s only sports. Will make these kids tougher when they get into the real world. I just wish it wasn’t Haas, as he has done so much good for the University and more importantly, his sister. Great young man.
Probably, lol. Painter has never done that before.
If PU didn't have bad luck in the NCAA's, they would have none at all. I don't think they would have made it past the Sweet 16 with Haas, though.
Your ilk is exactly why I will never feel bad when something like that happens to PU. The kid, Coach, & team don’t deserve it, but many of the fans do...
Because I said a Purdue players hair looks like Buckwheat in response to someone’s smartass comment about Matt Haarms? Ok. Got it.
