Who Is John Effing Hart?

What a dagger thrower this John Hart kid is, eh? Kid is an unheralded freshman, has played about 30 minutes all season, is not even listed in the Purdue scorebook, and comes off the bench last night to light up the Illini for 14 points in 18 minutes of play.

Steve Lavin said it best during the game. This was not a "one-hit wonder" performance. Hart was hitting hesitation shots, was creating separation from defenders, was getting to the basket and was dropping long threes. He may not light it up night after night, but in the 18 minutes he played last night he flashed moves that will play even when teams actually have him listed in their scouting reports.

F this guy.

That's all this Purdue team needs. Another good player.

Also, good game by Demetri.
