Purdue Sets Team USA Roster for World University Games
In less than three weeks Purdue will heads off to Taiwan to represent the United States in men’s basketball at the World University Games, and now the roster is complete. For the games themselves Purdue can bring a 12-man roster, and 11 of those spots were set beforehand with the 11 of the 12 scholarship players currently on our roster. Matt Haarms is not allowed to play since he is not a U.S. citizen, but he can travel and practice with the team.
Purdue was expected to add Missouri State forward Obediah Church as the 12th man, but a summer injury has prevented that per Nathan Baird at the Lafayette Journal & Courier. That means the 12th spot will go to Grady Eifert.
