Cam Heide looked hesitant in Purdue's first two games of the season. Thanks to help from his teammates, and a text message from Lance Jones, Heide provided a major spark for the Boilermakers against Yale on Monday night.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Tentative, hesitant and unassured. Those words might be used to describe Cam Heide's play in Purdue's first two games of the season. The redshirt sophomore just didn't seem to have the same confidence level he played with last year.
Some self-doubt might have creeped into Heide's mind. He had hit a slump. But his teammates — past and present — were there to offer full support. Coming into the season, Heide was one of the players expected to make a big leap from his freshman season to his sophomore year. He was coming off a campaign in which he averaged 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per game while logging just over 12 minutes per contest.
For whatever reason, Heide didn't quite have that same spark in the first two games, but he might've rekindled that fire on Monday.
