I can see why MSU is not ranked

If you're going to game plan going one on one with Edey with no help you HAVE to pressure their guards much better than MSU is doing. Absolutely have to. Edey getting the ball in scoring position without any resistance every time down.
By the way, refs just missed the most blatant hook and hold on Edey that you'll ever see. The rule created for Purdue big man just executed the hook and hold perfectly, refs didn't even review it.
Edey tuffest match up in the country.
TJD looks little next to him..
TJD looks little next to him..
TJD is little for a 5. Last season Edey made Kofi Cockburn look small and he’s big.
Edey should foul out pretty much every game, but the refs let him do whatever he wants. There are at least 2 over the backs that weren't called, and the hook and hold was ridiculous.
Izzo's plan to not double Edey or zone has been mixed results. Nobody else on PU has got going. He started to double a little more towards the end of the half.
Izzo is using Morton's man to double on Edey and daring Morton to shoot. Smith has been abused.
Yes, and if he played for IU everyone would be saying how he needs to bulk up to be good. Meanwhile, the kid looks like he’s 150 lbs. soaking wet and he’s dominating.
Sparty getting screwed. Two horrible calls in a row under a minute
I thought the exact same thing...1) Edey was over the back...foul 2) Edey holds the MSU players arm and then throws him to the ground...foul on Edey
The difficulty for the refs is how do you call over the back when Edey never leaves his feet? It shouldn’t matter, but refs are used to calling it when a guy is off his feet and looks somewhat out of control.
It wasn’t fine. Holding, hacking, colliding… BigTen officiating is ridiculous and makes the game unwatchable.
Don't watch it then. I have no problem with the officiating.
The question is who guards Edey? I think Trayce would have 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes.
Double off the worst shooter or zone. Make somebody else beat you.
Would have been nice to have Durr for the PUke games. He held his own.

didn't watch but the difference in the box score appeared to be FTs. PU was 16-18 and I think MSU was 7-10. I know Izzo couldn't have been happy with that. If they did double off Morton, looks smart: 0-7 overall and 0-3 on 3s, didn't score. Hats off to the Boilers again. I don't know for how many years I've been thinking we're well past due to outperform expectations and seemingly here we sit with another year of unmet expectations on our end and them exceeding them. Stinks.
Not sure of that. Edey doesn't guard anyone because he can't. He guards the rim and the area directly around the rim, and the rim just doesn't draw many fouls. Defense for him is drop coverage, then just walling up on shots ....
Plus, teams aren't attacking him, they're instead attacking that gaping hole in the middle of the defense he causes while playing drop coverage 100% of the time and not having the agility or foot speed to rotate and challenge that shot, or rotate back if he does.

Everyone doubles off Morton .. his career high is 10 pts, which he's reached once.
Look at what the actual rule is for hook and hold. Edey had the rebound, both hands on the ball, other player had his arm wrapped around. Edey threw him like a rag doll but still had both hands on the ball.
I think it is pretty clear who on PU scores, and Edey is the head. Loyer is option 2, and then there is a sizeable gap. The other players aren't used to carrying the scoring load and wouldn't be comfortable with it: if one of them beats you, tip your hat and move on.
You have to force refs to make calls on Edey. I would agree that players aren't going at him enough on offense.
X and Rob went at Edey last year and got layups. Edey is still a goofball. Get him going one way and then go another: he probably isn't going to recover in time. The more you can make him move, the better.
The generic "lumbering oaf" analysis is why he was ranked #400+ in high school and is now frontrunner for NPOY
He's still a big goofball, and there is a reason he doesn't show up in mock drafts. You seriously have a burner account from over 10 years ago? Lol
That goofball will have 30 and 15 and not blink once. Keep living in fantasyland!
If Nebraska can hold him to 12 or less, it is very possible.
Which is well deserved, especially for a goofy lumbering oaf.
He's a physical outlier, like Zion, like Shaq, and is putting up similar efficiency .. A severe matchup problem for every team that plays him but unlike them he comes with a small set of defensive issues that can be exploited.

I think TJD and he are going to be a really interesting match uo. I really have no idea what will happen. Who is the best center Edey has been up against?
Edey a goofball? Leading canidate for NPOY. 32pt 17rb. Some of you on here are delusional. Along the likes who called Edey "nothing special" and Jaden Ivey "enificient chucker"
You can be a good ball player and still be a goofball.
Put Duncomb on him and commit very hard fouls. Make Edey work his ass off and west the ogre down.
