So who do you trust more as head coach down the stretch in a regional final, Painter or Barnes.

20-10 on fouls for Purdue. 10 is big

 

[EastConn'er]

I'm not the only one. Look, he's big, but he just bull-rushes his way to the basket like a DT rushing the quarterback. If you try to hold your position the foul is on you. Shaq did this too, particularly late in his career when he was less mobile. Like Edey is now.

They are hitting Edey almost every time. Holding, slapping him, pushing 2 hands in his back. He's just making nice moves which TN obviously can't handle. But go ahead and make crap up to make yourself feel better.

I think Edey and DC can somewhat neutralize each other with a bit of an edge to Edey

One BS foul call on Clingan could swing the title game and Edey gets the friendliest whistle in the country.

It is fun to talk about Purdue's whistle, but I just noticed that Edey has pretty much played all game. While being the focus of the offense every possession. Insane conditioning

 

[Rocktheworld]

Purdue is not as good defensively, and Castle, Newton and Karaban will be able to drive on them all day.

Doesn’t matter if Clingan plays for two minutes in the first half and Edey gets to eat SJ alive

 

[uconn_jack]

I would still want to get Purdue just because, but Kenect would be a handful.

 

[EnochRoot]

That was a flop, period.

 

[EastConn'er]

flop

 

[REB1094]

It's looking like Purdue is moving on

I really NEED Zach Edey vs. DJ Burns

I think we could blow Purdue out if it's reffed correctly but I could also see Clingan picking up 2 fouls right away while they let Edey do whatever he wants. That kind of scares me.

 

[EnochRoot]

To counter the color analyst that Purdue has a better idea what it wants to do.

Disagree. Tenn just hasn’t been hitting their open 3s.

Is it? He doesn't work that hard. DC works his ass off while Edey looks like he's in slow motion.

He's on a mission, very impressive.

Clingan is different than these thin Tenn centers, but regardless, Purdue is easier to gameplan for.

Tenn is missing a ton of clean looks and open shots.

They hit these against Creighton, and it isn't a matter that Purdue plays better D than Creighton. They don't

In the workplace Edy wins.

 

[EnochRoot]

I think that whistle blew before Edey even caught that ball.

 

[UConn990411]

It would’ve been tough for Tennessee to win this game with the way the whistles have gone, but this looks so similar to how every Barnes team loses in the tourney.

Another reason why he’s our kryptonite. 38 mins against Gonzaga and he’ll play 39 today. Samson will foul out in under 10 mins trying to guard him when Clingan is on the bench.

 

[superjohn]

Edey's parents look like a lot of fun.

 

[EnochRoot]

LOL at the decision to go to the hoop with Edey in the paint.

SFS.

 

[aceboon]

Game was lost in the first half, TN should have not went to the half trailing after that first half surge they had

 

[EnochRoot]

UT needed a timeout there to get their 3.

 

[Kitaman]

Edy is a mature Clingan meaning his experience shows. Clingan next year would also be POY candidate but....
