Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Purdue forward Trevion Williams used a milestone moment to show off all of his skills Tuesday night.
He delivered the usual highlight dunks, strong rebounds and jarring screens. He also made a nifty behind-the-back pass, took a defender off the dribble, showed he could hit some jumpers and even threw in a couple of dance moves as he celebrated.
Williams finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds, helping the sixth-ranked Boilermakers blow out Wright State 96-52 on a night he became the 16th player in school history with 1,000 points and 650 rebounds.
“That was never my mindset,” Williams said. “I just wanted to be a part of something special, I wanted to win. But I knew I couldn’t do that without making some sacrifices and getting my body in shape.”
By trimming weight and working on his athleticism, the preseason All-American has become one of the nation’s most challenging matchups though he’s been coming off the bench this season.
