GTNupe11 2,038 Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 It’s tough watching this. You’d think there were SEC refs out there how much they’re calling fouls down low. Edey doesn’t have a single foul but there’s like 11 against him? Wild. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 34,034 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I would be lying if I said I am I did not want to see a match up between Purdue vs UCONN. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,488 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Finally called one on the big fella. Game of runs, and the Vols are hanging in there. It looked like Purdue was about to go up double digits a minute or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do u stand a chance of defending a person that’s significantly bigger than u and getting a favorable whistle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,786 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Wouldn't that be wild if the national title game ends up being Alabama vs Tennessee? Two big rivals that both lost their opening game of the SEC Tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamZero77 1,786 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Purdue with Edey and UConn with Clingan are proving that if you have a 7 foot center that can play, you'll go very deep in the tourney. That's how we made that deep run in the tournament with Walker Kessler.........oh wait 😏 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of smart disciplined basketball in the elite 8 is so much greater than Auburn ever demonstrated. The accuracy of the shooters is off the chart. Bruce should get lots of credit for getting Auburn to the tournament at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMunny 1,384 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Doubling Edey does nothing except leave TN with no one to get the rebound if he misses. They have abandoned the double team. Good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e808 3,028 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 If Tennessee plans on winning they gonna need to score every trip. Edey about to get every call and he is a decent free throw shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broome is an All-American. J Will was All-SEC and a 5th year senior. D Jones was the number one scorer in his league. CBM was the 6th man of the year in the Mountain West Conference… and the rest of our team was mostly upperclassmen and none of them are scrubs… Credit for just us getting there? No sir! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an All Star but a solid player that can start or be a 6th man and play 10 years in the league, maybe longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG-91 1,488 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Announcers mentioned it, but Edey's stamina is pretty impressive for a big guy. I think they said he's sat for less than a minute of game time. Purdue being smart...when you've got an advantage, work it mercilessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,786 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I just don't see Zach Edey's game transferring to the NBA where he will be a starter for anyone. He doesn't shoot 3's and he is slow. His style was needed years ago but not so much now in the current NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done a lot to improve his stamina and skillset for this moment. It would be vindicated if they win it all after all the turbulence that has been going on at Purdue since he has been there (relating to march madness).

He is a problem down low and makes his free throws. The biggest issue will be the wear and tear of 82 games for a player his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
