Zach Edey is as big a problem for a final 4 team as he was for James Madison or whoever.
Nc state can’t attack the rim and have about given up. Means they have to win from the perimeter. They aren’t attacking him.
I like that big butt guy from nc state but he isn’t cb allentint edey on d. He’s just trying to keep edey 8-10 feet out and not 0-5. Ed y is hitting those shots.
I think to neutralize edey you need about 3 guys 6-10 or taller who can play him tight. Use your fouls. And contest him. This big butt guy is about 6’8 and a 7’4 dude plus wingspan can shoot right over that. Especially since big butt can’t get off the floor or they’ll call a foul.
Nc state appears to have better guards. Runs well. Purdue is turning the ball over too much
big butte backup is challenging edey and I think that’s the right move. Paying off Closer a 10 point lead to 5.
I realize it’s still a close game but without getting edey in foul trouble and without challenging him when they have the ball I just think you’re letting edey operate too freely.
It’s a 3 pt game now. I’ve been wrong before. But betting against Goliath when he’s not in foul trouble doesn’t seem like a winning hand
Purdue sure making it look easy in the 2nd half, bring on UConn it could be quite a game.
