Boilermakers redshirt freshman center Matt Haarms was tasked with an extremely difficult duty — attempting to replace injured big man Isaac Haas.

Haarms played well in Sunday’s Round of 32 win, with six rebounds, two blocks and seven points, but he wasn’t Haas-level.

He did, however, make sure his hair was looking good for the cameras during the game — like a billion times.
