Problem is that Edey can pass over Karaban with ease even if he's jumping. We'd probably have to play 2 bigs in that case, and if that is what we're resorting to, we're in serious trouble.

Yeah I dont see Hurley changing his rotations a bit, but I feel like hard doubles are part of his philosophy when there is a serious post threat. Ofcourse they have to be strategic and our rotations will have to be hellish... But I think Edey will be swarmed at times. I honestly have no clue what Hurley has planned but I know the staff is beyond prepared so I'll be ok with whatever strategy they utilize

In terms of Plan B, I'm less concerned about the obvious one (Clingan foul trouble) and more concerned about the offensive end -- what do we do when they just park Edey in the lane and don't bother chasing our screeners, how do we score if outside shots aren't falling?

That is what they will do. Edey will not leave the paint. I don't think that has anything to do with chasing shooters and being screened. That happens away from the paint.
  1. We will run our offense to free up shooters outside. Yes they need to make those shots.
  2. Edey will Challenge shooters in the paint area, whether Donovan or others. We will need to be agressive cutting behind him passing on the interior. If he challenges Donovan on one side, the pass goes behind him to AK or Castle.
  3. Run on misses. Run, run, run. Edey doesn't even jog, he walks up the court on both ends. Attack the basket before he gets anywhere near it.
Oddly, I think Bama's running and shooting game were tailor made to beat Purdue. We will need to emulate that to some extent. Clingan's role is on D tonight. Johnson could be interesting and I'd use him to draw fouls on Edey.
 
Hope we get 30 good minutes of Clingan playing 1v1 and 10 minutes of Samson/help from Diarra and Spencer's quick hands. SJ has given us really good minutes recently, he's a crazy efficient weapon in both transition and the half court.

The more I think about it, the more I think our length at guard and pressuring the ball - making the entry pass REALLY difficult for their guards is the biggest key. Don't give their guards an inch of space for passing inside of 30' and make them work super hard to get the ball inside. Use length at guard to keep the ball out of Edey's hands so that the # of times DC has to defend Edey inside is decreased.

Wonder if Donovan is coached to not help at all if our guards get beat? Clingan needs to stay on Edey and 1) not allow Purdue guards to dump off to Edey when DC comes to help, 2) save ALL of his fouls for Edey, no leasing to contest others and 3) not give up stupid tried to block a shot and Edey got an easy rebound put back.

He’s averse to challenging shots when not in good position. He’s not going to recover and go for a block because he needs to stay on the court. Leaves him susceptible to those looks near the basket. Most of the time his man won’t even challenge him, so I’m curious how much he’s going to have to stick with Clingan due to his size.

That's why I think our excellent interior passing is really going to come into play. Where Alex or Donovan or Steph, those guys can all pass to a cutter coming in behind Edey. Johnson too on the receiving end. Edey is slow reacting so we can either score or draw fouls if he tries to contest.
 
The only games we lost this year were games where we failed to score at least 70 points. It's an oversimplification, but if we score 75+ our odds go up exponentially.
