Purdue And Zach Edey

And there goes Purdue. I like Edey and think this is a solid team overall, but I don’t think Purdue is one of the 5 best teams in the country, and probably isn’t one of the 10 best either.

And after watching our Huskies Saturday as well as the 3 prior I’d feel the same about our rooting interest.

We’ve also seen them perform like one of the best 2-3 teams in the country. Let’s see how they look the next 3 games.

UConn lost a close game on the road to one of the best offensive teams in the country, in a large part because of one of the stupidest technical fouls I have ever seen a coach get.

Purdue just lost to Rutgers at home. Rutgers. At. Home.

fwiw, KP had Rutty closer to Purdue than Purdue was to UConn. NET and KP both had Rutty in top 20 before this game.

IMO, the losing at home is a bigger deal than Rutgers.

Not to be that person, but we have 2 national titles within the last 6 tournament appearances

Sorry, but I replied originally to a poster who said "Purdue has been knocked out by a lower seed in 4 of the last 6 NCAA tournaments." Appearances (one team's participation) is not the same thing as tournaments (all teams invited participate). Purdue has made it to the tournament the last 6 years more often and has better results. Anyway, Purdue lost tonight to Rutgers!

Are you really arguing that since I am a UConn fan I am not allowed to point out that Purdue is a tournament choke team?

This matchup could provide the old school battle of the star Centers (Edey vs Clingan). Ewing vs Olajuwon was the all time classic.

Topic for another day, but it will be interesting to see how Hurley manages Clingan's minutes in the postseason. We are obviously at our best when Clingan is on the floor.

Alcinder v. Hayes at Astrodome would like a word with you.

Edey has trouble with guarding away from the rim. AS could get by him and get to the basket at will.

Purdue's last possession, down one, they threw it to him twice in the low post and twice he threw it back out immediately without even taking a look at the basket. He wanted no part of the last shot.

That's the player of the year?

Wow UConn fans see what they want to see. Don't dare add to the fact McConnell doubled down on him one of those times and Edey delivered a perfect pass to the guy he was guarding for a 3 that took the lead for Purdue with only seconds left? I mean my God we don't respect anyone but our guys. Sanogo would've forced the shot despite the double team, but that's ok because he's the preseason BE player of the year. LOL

Rutgers beat Wake Forest by 24, Indiana by 15 this isn't a huge surprise at all. They had some head scratching losses as well i see that. Rutgers is a well coached team who plays hard as hell on the defensive end. And the play Steve Pikiell drew up to win the game was beautiful. He got the slow footed white kid Spencer open at the top of the key and he ball faked and drilled a three. We can't get Joey C open at the end of a game we're letting AJ "heave" 3'sd instead. Give the team it's due for crying out loud.

Seton Hall (1-3 in the Big East) says "hello". Last night's game was Rutgers' first road win of the season. Rutty was 0-3 on the road prior to last night. 6 of Rutgirls' wins are Quad 4 wins, meaning the Rut is 4-4 against Quad's 1 through 3, including last night's win over Purdue.

Rutgers is a decent team, but they are not a powerhouse by any means.

Has nothing to do with UConn fandom, that's a cheap way to frame your argument.

Spin it however you want, I saw I guy getting rid of the ball like a hot potato in the crunchiest of crunch times.

Horrible comeback by you. The 3 that took the lead he dribbled into the post he was in NO rush, was doubled down and delivered a strike to the guy McConnel was supposed to be guarding - that's called very good heads up basketball by a post man, they took the lead. How the hell do you even call that "hot potato" do you know anything about the game? Your spin is inaccurate and lame, period!

No one said powerhouse did they? But capable yes, they've proven it for a few years now. They're a lot better than Butler or GTown.

Seeing how a flu-addled/hungover/food poisoned Jack Nunge kicked our teeth in on Saturday I have no confidence we could do anything with Edey.

This is the only valid pro-Purdue point that anyone has made in this thread.

You are someone who likes to look at all games "in depth" but missed this one. The T was just the icing and not a large part of why UConn lost.
They lost because Dan Hurley got lost down the stretch and had a horrid line-up in there trying to close out a deficit. Even if the T was not called UConn was not coming back - that ship sailed

He was one of the three. Once Xavier/Miller started getting flack for putting out a kid with the flu they said “he doesn’t have the flu just symptoms”

Sorry about that Mrs. Edey, I take it all back.

Yeesh.

That was terrible by him.

As I posted in other threads, Adama has played him and dominated. He has improved but so has Adama. I know it will play out differently now, but Edey was good then too, and shared the center position with Lively. Adama 26pts, 12 rb, 7 steals against the 7'+ duo as I recall. (Adama also shot 2 three point attempts and went full court with a eurostep to convert a steal into points) (things people on the board seem to think he has only learned recently). Samson also played in that game good enough to be noted.

IIRC, UConn hasn't played Purdue since 2008. Not sure what game you're referencing.

AAU ball, pre-college. He also acknowledges that both players have developed a lot since those days.

So, this would've been the summer before Sanogo's junior year in HS? And Samson was pre-sophomore?

Edey's a year ahead of Adama...for them to have played against each other in AAU ball it would've been Edey's pre-senior HS year. And he shared the floor that game with Lively, pre-Purdue? I must admit I didn't know that Sanogo had such a refined game after his HS sophomore year, euro-stepping, length of floor run-outs, hitting threes. I had thought he just started playing basketball before then.

High school basketball game. Sanogo's junior year, Adama was a beast as a junior. He reclassified and went to UConn after his junior season. Here is the game Ricker is talking about...
