Watch for this Ben McCollum coach from nw Missouri state.  Just won the national D II big one with a 38-0 record with 2 freshman and a sophomore.  2nd D II championship in last 3 seasons. In his last 4 seasons he’s gone 38-0, 27-4, 35-1 and 27-6.  Dudes seems to know his hoops and gets results

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_McCollum

Appears his main weakness is he wins too much.

Last plays of the game. Carson Edwards dribbles around for 20 seconds before taking a long contested step-back 3. Then on the next possession throws the ball out of bounds.

Painter should be fired.

Purdue would be better without Edwards.

Outstanding game. Heartbreakering for Purdue. Looked to have the win. Wish it could have went to double overtime.

That last play, if the dude handles it, stretch coulda broke to the basket and had an uncontested dunk.  Don’t know if that was the play cuz everyone was expecting Edwards to get the rock. But check the replay.  Woulda been a brilliant play if executed. Or an option of it?

Guy looks and plays so much like Markus it’s uncanny.

Tony Bennett let Edwards go for 42.........or maybe Edwards was just good enough to score 42 against one of the best defensive teams in the country.......

Great game......Virginia obviously fortunate to win......but congrats to Tony......a class act all the way.

Ps if an NBA team is looking for a small explosive scoring guard......Edwards is going to be first in line....assuming he goes pro which I think he will.

Edwards doesn’t shoot well enough to stick in the league. He will get beat down bad.

If you foul up 3, and the first free throw is made, the team up should commit a blatant lane violation on the second free throw attempt, every time.

Dunno how accurate this guy is, but Markus at 85?

I think he's coming back...but if he doesn't, I'd be surprised if he didn't go sometime in the second round. Putting him at 85 implies he isn't all that close.

Back on topic, two great games tonight!

He isnt close.  Watch Edwards, he  is so much better than Markus ateverything, except shooting where they are about the same.

Well, they were down 3.

With a few seconds left. Would've been brilliant. Thinking outside the box.

LOL, Markus literally outpaces him in every stat except Steals which is a slight edge to Edwards, and TOs which is a slight edge.  He has better Assist and Rebounding numbers, and better raw and eFG percentages.

When Markus was bad, he still scored.  When Edwards was bad he was PUTRID.  Today was fun and he was absolutely unconscious in the second half.  Howard did that 3-4 times this year in big games.  If someone takes Edwards in the first round off of this performance, he will be a slam dunk bust, but he should 100% leave.

The best thing I read about him on Twitter today is "Edwards is a very good player who unfortunately thinks he is Steph Curry, but very good players can have outrageous runs".  The bricks towards the end of the game in OT reminded me more of what I saw from him during the year.

This is clearly karma for Purdue, who were only there because of one of the worst fouls calls in tournament history.
