Wasn't it Andre Wesson on Haas that the Bucks found some success against in the past?

With his brother, center Kaleb Wesson, picking up three first half fouls and his fourth with nearly 17 minutes to play, and big men Micah Potter and Kyle Young each on two fouls, Holtmann again trusted Wesson. This time, it was Purdue center Isaac Haas that Wesson was assigned to guard.

"He’s huge. That’s a big guy," Wesson said of Haas. "So just staying lower than him, trying to switch it up on him. Fronting, being behind him. Just doing that.

"Obviously it wasn’t planned. Having both of our big guys in foul trouble wasn’t the plan, but I just had to go and make the most of it."

Despite giving up eight inches and 70 pounds to Haas, Wesson was the Buckeyes' best defender on the 7-foot-2 center.

With Wesson on Haas late in the first half, the Buckeyes went on a 6-0 run that helped cut the halftime deficit to two. Because of the foul trouble, Wesson was again on Haas for a good portion of the second half, holding the big man to just two of his 18 points.
