MILWAUKEE -- Purdue coach Matt Painter simplified the game plan against Marquette knowing he had a size advantage in the paint.
Dump the ball into 7-foot-2 center Isaac Haas for easy buckets. Have the big man find open shooters when the defense collapsed on him.
Haas scored 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting, Carsen Edwards added 15 points and 19th-ranked Purdue beat Marquette 86-71 on Tuesday night.
Vincent Edwards added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Boilermakers (3-0), who held distinct edges in rebounding (34-23) and points in the paint (30-12).
"Just having the threat of Isaac Haas down there was too much for them," Painter said.
