Let H&H Block Help You s powerful inside tandem of junior A.J. Hammons and freshman Isaac Haas are dominating the paint and are off to a strong start to the 2014-15 season. Coach Painter will have the constant luxury of always having a 7-footer on the floor. The pair is averaging 21.4 points per game, 10.5 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game while shooting 105-of-199 (.528) from the field in 37.7 minutes per game. The duo has outscored five opponents (Samford, Grambling, North Carolina State, North Florida, IPFW) in the points in the paint category this year all by themselves. However, over the last five games, the duo is just 39-of-88 (.443) from the field, while accounting for 22 of s 59 turnovers (37.3 percent). Hammons (28) and Haas (24) are first and second on the team in turnovers. No other player has more than 20 turnovers (Davis). The pair is also shooting just 68-of-118 (.576) from the free throw line for the season, a number that needs to improve considering how much they get fouled. Who Is The Go-To Guy? has had a tough time this year finding a go-to-guy, as five players average between 9.2 and 11.5 points per game. Over the last seven games, is averaging 72.0 points per game, but hasn t had a player score more than 18 points in a contest during that span (18 by Kendall Stephens vs. Arkansas State). In the loss to Gardner-Webb, scored 84 points, but had five players score between 11 and 13 points. In the last three games, just one player (15 by Rapheal Davis vs. Vanderbilt) has scored more than 13 points in a game. In all, eight different players have scored in double-figures this year and seven different players have led the team in scoring. The Quick Yank Head coach Matt Painter has the luxury of always having a physical 7-footer on the floor, but it has been a struggle in keeping A.J. Hammons and Isaac Haas out of foul trouble. Painter typically pulls one of them when they get a foul at the start of the game, meaning so far this year, neither of them have been able to stay on the floor too long. In each of the last three games and in nine of the last 11 games (Kansas State, Missouri, BYU, NC State, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Gardner-Webb), whoever was starting between Haas and Hammons have picked up a foul by the first media timeout. Three of the fouls (Kansas Sate, NC State, Notre Dame) came in the first two minutes of the game. Between them, the duo has accounted for 67 fouls (Hammons = 34; Haas = 33). Per 40 minutes, Haas is averaging 5.7 fouls per game and Hammons is averaging 5.3 fouls per game. Mackey Success is 6-2 at Mackey Arena this season and hopes it can return to the success it has had in the building in recent history. The Boilermakers are allowing just 54.9 points per game this year at Mackey Arena and foes are shooting just 36.3 percent from the field and 58.1 percent from the free throw line. has held four of its eight opponents at Mackey Arena (Samford, Grambling, IPFW, Arkansas State) to 46 points or less.

Painter s tenure has seen basketball restore its status among the upper echelon of college basketball programs. The last eight years have seen six 20-win seasons and NCAA Tournament berths, two Sweet 16 appearances, a regular-season Big Ten title and a Big Ten Tournament crown. The three winningest classes in program history are the classes of 2011, 2012 and 2010, respectively, and five of the 10 winningest individual players has ever seen have come from the Painter ranks. Success, however, didn t happen overnight. Painter officially became the 18th head men s basketball coach in history on April 1, 2005, and immediately set about laying the groundwork for a dramatic reversal in the program s fortunes. The Boilermakers were at their best during the 2009 postseason run, rattling off double-digit victories over Penn State and Illinois to reach the Big Ten Tournament final, where they dispatched Ohio State, 65-61, to earn the first conference tournament crown in program history. Painter has also resurrected Mackey Arena as one of the country s best home-court advantages, piling up a 123-28 (.815) record at home over the last nine seasons, including a remarkable 67-5 (.931) record against non-conference opponents. Painter has been named Big Ten Coach of the Year three times in the last six seasons, earning the consensus award in 2008 and 2011, and winning the coaches vote in 2010. He is one of only six men to win the award more at least three times since its inception in 1974. Painter has seen a total of 21 players earn a combined 38 Academic All-Big Ten honors during his tenure as head coach. Painter has also mentored an Academic All-American, as Moore earned second-team honors during the 2009-10 season. In addition, the program has received the NCAA Public Recognition Award for posting a multi-year academic progress rate among the top 10 percent. has had an APR of at least 985 in each of the last three years, one of two schools in the Big Ten that can stake that claim (Michigan).
