The Big Man is back - Purdue vs UConn Men's National Championship thread, 9:20pm ET, TNT

[Nero Christ]

A lil like SC/Iowa yesterday

 

[DrexlersFade]

Luda catalog is underated

 

[Nero Christ]

This possession rule on a tie up is the WOAT rule in college hoops

 

[Guess Who]

Purdue’s issue is the guard play

UConn guards getting whatever they want in the lane. I understand Edey doesn’t want to help off Clingan but if they keep doing that they gonna lose.

 

[UpAndComing]

Dan Hurley whines more than Caitlin Clark

Is he more annoying than Bobby Hurley? lol

 

[chkmeout]

Edey isn't a typical ogre. He moves really well for his size and seems to have pretty good conditioning. I don't see how he doesn't have a role for 15-20 minutes in the NBA.

He gives a shyt too.

I don't think edey can see Luka Garza so I'm not sure about that...

Why this game isn't on CBS?

Is he more annoying than Bobby Hurley? lol

Bobby Hurley is a Duke legend but I’d find him annoying as shyt on another team.

Even Coach K told Bobby to stop bytching when he was a player

UCONN it seem like everybody touch the ball and threats to score while with Purdue it’s just Edey and Smith. Outside of pick and rolls with Smith/Edey and Edey post ups. They really don’t have a way to score.

The game is 40 minutes

 

[Megadeus]

Heavyweight showdown with 2 elite bigs for all the marbles. Feel Like I hopped out a time machine

I think once Jones for Purdue checks back in, that'll look a little different. They sat him because he got 2 early fouls.

 

[Blackrogue]

These bigs are so polarizing to me. Edey so heavy and dominant and you can tell he's the alpha dominant force on the floor. Clingan good but you wonder what he'll do on offense. And then where they are on the floor defensively you wonder what they'll do against stretch bigs or pace.

I keep going back and forth on drafting Edey just because in special cases he'll be dominant

Also the NBA spoiled me. Haven't watched college ball in a while other than looking at certain players and I'm shocked at how bad of shooters they are compared to NBA. Championship game one three? The other game prior people were bricking constant.
