Edey is Purdue, right?

If Purdue doesn't have Edey, no way they're very good.

If uconn is without Clingan (or any other single player), they're still very very good.

Edey = Clark and Purdue = Iowa, UConn = South Carolina. I expect the end result to be the same as well.

Agreed. Had the same thought earlier

[tower912]

Incredible start for Edey

NPOY for a reason.

Incredible start for Edey

Idk if this is a good thing for Purdue though

Eventually they are gonna need other guys to take a make shots. Not just stand and watch Edey try to keep pace with Uconn all game by himself.

But if he keeps punishing single coverage it will open things up when UConn inevitably starts digging and trapping

[jesmu84]

UConn afraid to go to rim

[PGsHeroes32]

The Edey factor in their heads a bit.

Uconn has completely botched multiple layups out of fear

[jesmu84]

Fouls gonna be a BIG problem for uconn in the 2nd half

[PGsHeroes32]

Edey needed that TO badly.

Hes getting gassed

[jesmu84]

Edey is going to win this himself.

Total force on both ends.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Very entertaining game so far. I think Painter made it clear to the team that Edey must get a touch every trip down the court. And Edey making the strategy work.

[tower912]

Samson Johnson is the same size as Ben Gold.  Too small in this game to handle Edey.

Not dull.

[Zog from Margo]

Refs not calling anything on Edey. Sure looked like a foul on the screen on Castle.

Edey is dominating early.  If he gets some help you would think Purdue has a good chance.

Clingan having big probs.  Would you hard double?

He's going really hard at the moment.  How's he going to be in the 2nd half? The pace favors UConn

[tower912]

I wonder when the last time Clingan was the small one?

[PGsHeroes32]

Yup and Uconn immediately takes advantage of him being out.

Painter clones 7'+ guys. Purdue will be very good as long as Painter is there.

[Pakuni]

Edey's getting away with murder on the offensive glass.

[Johnny B]

Hurley is such a d bag lol

Yea. Similar to ND back in the day - harangody and crew

[Pakuni]

Hurley is such a d bag lol

But he's not.

[wadesworld]

Yea. Similar to ND back in the day - harangody and crew

Yup. They have a 7'+ guy on the bench who never plays. He'll be All Big 10 in a year or 2.

Wonder if 5$ still thinks Edey is an absolute trash basketball player.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah, Purdue is playing right into the Uconn game plan

Let Edey get his if he makes tough hook shots

And make the rest of Purdue prove they belong on the court(currently they dont)
