Purdue Basketball: It Is Time, Release the Newman

The bench is struggling.

Like, astronomically, bad.

Last night, our bench scored 6 points, all at the hands of Trevion Williams.

Furst, 0. IT, 0. Morton 0.

You need some bench production during this time of year, starters are tired, especially EHJ and Ivey, who log over 35 minutes regularly.

Luckily for us, we have a former 4 star sharpshooter, that is 6-6, 200 pounds and has started 24 career games for our Purdue Boilermakers.

(Re)-Enter, Brandon Newman.

Newman started 23 games during the 2020-2021 season, in which he averaged 8 points per game, on 38% 3 point shooting.
