Gicarri Harris role at Purdue basketball, defense, study opponents, C.J. Cox

WEST LAFAYETTE − The first few minutes have ticked off the clock, and Gicarri Harris is sitting on the Purdue basketball bench, assessing it all.

Upset-minded Akron is confident early at Mackey Arena, hitting six shots in a row and leading by the time Harris comes off the bench with 15:58 to go.

How Harris used the 4:02 before his number was called will soon impact the early stages of this game.
