Or are you saying he should’ve rebounded every missed shot in the game, because he’s tall, after all?
Not exaggerating he should’ve had 25+ rebounds in this game. He was godawful. 15 in a close game against Fairleigh Dickinson is horrifyingly bad.

No, I just think his size alone allows him to score points and grab rebounds in a physically inferior conference such as the Big 10.

So tall people are generally better at basketball than shorter people? You don’t say! I swear I’ve seen a ton of sub 6’ people in every single game yesterday and today.

Why didn’t Matt haarms or Isaac Haas put up the same numbers as Edey this year? They’re both huge ipso facto should dominate. Yet they both fell way short of accomplishing what Edey did this season. It’s almost like there still is skill involved.
They’re all cut from the same cloth. Nationally recognized ogres with little to no basketball knowledge or skill that flame out in the tournament because they make their teams painfully one dimensional.

So why didn’t either of those two ogres put up similar numbers to the other ogre ?

Yes - it’s almost like there are varying levels of skill at all positions on the basketball court. Some taller players are better than others because they do some things better than others.

Ok on a scale of 1-100 with 100 being the GOAT basketball player, Edey is a 3, Haas was a 2, and Haarms was a 1. Is this your point?

So why weren’t the other two up for national player of the year ? They’re just giants that all dominate because they’re tall right ?

Nothing in the nba for sure. However that doesn’t change the fact he’s an incredible college player.

It shows that he’s bad at basketball and just tall.

Not sure why Penny used his time-out on defense there. After FAU scored, Memphis was screwed.

You’re on a college basketball forum discussing college basketball and the NCAA Tournament.

Edit: Nm mixed up my 20 something year old Memphis players.

Damaria is still an awesome kid though and his dad is hilarious.

No idea.  He looked unhappy and chucked his water bottle.  I don't root for teams with players in their late 20,'s.  :)
