North Carolina woke up.   Down 6 at half and now up 18.  Best I’ve seen them play in a long time

I remember years ago, UNI knocked of Kansas (the top seed) and went to the Sweet 16. 

Ben Jacobson was the next big thing -- ala Shaka Smart, Anthony Grant, Jeff Groce, Andy Enfeld, Archie Miller (gulp), and the list goes on and on. 

Not sure what offers he had, but I'm sure there had to be some. But he stayed put. Had a couple more really good years, but for the most part .. meh. Rather than wanting to taste the bright lights -- so to speak -- of a P5 conference, he stayed put. 

Guess for him, that was the right call.

I really wanted to the Shaka versus Bill Self fight last night.

3/4 from 3 in the first half.    
Kansas/Tennessee tied at half 

[TheWatShot 15,565]

Midway through the second half, only 20 total fouls called between Kansas and Tennessee. Must be different refs from Purdue-Tennessee last night.

Alternate theories?

Crean is a good man, good recruiter, horrible coach. He couldn’t make the final four with 6, 1000 point scorers.

I have been down the last two days after a minor procedure and have watched alot of college basketball. Well more than I usually can. It is confirmed that we need to shoot and make more threes to win. It also imo helps get second chance points as the board come off long. All these teams I am watching are letting them fly and having success

I am starting to lose count of how many 3 sec violations Edey has this game.

"As a reminder, a player is not permitted to have any part of his body in the three-second lane for more than three consecutive seconds while the ball is in control of his team in his front court."

Is the Edey Rule the new MJ rule where the refs won't call a foul on him.

Purdue would hit that halftime BS. Enjoy your early season peak.

I think they are the best test in the country. They can be beat, but it’s going to take a monumental effort. HATE IT.

Edey Is built like a skyscraper. He won’t get injured but I think that’s the only thing that will derail them.

They always look good early season. 

Like Stu has oft said, they are an Edey ankle away from just being another team. And by the end of the year, out of conference teams have sharpened up enough to run a solid PnR.

I think it's safe to say at this point that he is NEVER fouling out and he will rarely get called for camping out in the lane. Opponents have to accept that they have to beat Purdue with him on the floor. The best attack might be five out with a three point barrage and constant cutting to the basketball. I don't believe they can be beaten in a conventional manner.
