Purdue was 6-2 having just lost to N. Florida in which Hammons went for 16 pts, 7 rebounds, and 5 blocks. His best game of the season at that point.
The following game, Hammons was replaced by Haas in the starting lineup. Purdue went 5-6 over their next 11 games (against better competition).
After the loss at Illinois, Purdue went back to Hammons for Iowa. I think the freshman was put in a tough spot and I am glad to see him back in the role he anticipated when coming to Purdue.
