Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 3309894, member: 5436"] Come on now, you must be joking. Only a Boilermaker-colored glasses Purdue fan could ever be clueless enough to think that Carsen Edwards had a better college career than Kemba Walker. That is completely non-sensical. There is no arguing that Carsen Edwards had an excellent career at Purdue. He had a great year last year, and tried to almost single-handedly carry his team past the eventual National Champion Virginia in that classic Elite 8 game where he scored 42 points, including 10 3-pointers (0 assists by the way - Kemba averaged 5.7 assists per game during our 2011 National Title run, including 7 each versus both Arizona in the Elite 8 game and 7 versus Kentucky in the Semi-Final game... and yeah, it makes a difference). But ultimately, Edwards failed where Kemba succeeded. Kemba threw that team, and frankly the weight of our entire fan base onto his back and carried us to the Big East Tournament title (5 in 5 days baby!) and then more importantly to the National Title. Nothing Edwards did compares to that. By measurement of what matters most, Kemba wins that debate (2 Final Fours, 1 National Title to 0 of either for Edwards) hands down. Period. End of story. And while we are at it, so does Shabazz (2 National Titles) win out over E'Twaun Moore (Best Years: 2 Sweet 16's). Particularly since Shabazz was the centerpiece of the 2014 National Title run. 2 > 0. 'Nough said. [/QUOTE]
