DETROIT -- Purdue senior Isaac Haas fractured his elbow during Friday's first-round victory and will miss the remainder of the NCAA tournament.

Haas fell hard on his arm midway through the second half of a 74-48 win over 15-seed Cal State Fullerton. Haas appeared to be in pain after the fall, but returned to play several minutes.

Postgame X-rays revealed a fracture in the elbow that will require surgery. The 7-foot-2 center collected nine points and 10 rebounds in the first-round win.

Haas and coach Matt Painter were both hopeful that he would be healthy enough to continue playing when speaking to reporters after Friday's game.
