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.

For some reason, people have short memories when it comes to Purdue. Two years ago, they hung 90+ on UNC and beat Villanova the next day, and there were people seriously thinking they'd go undefeated. Last year they blew out Duke and Gonzaga and everyone lost their minds. Painter has mastered the month of November. We'll see if he ever figures out March.

Yes I hate it also. The roles are reversed from the 70 80s and 90s. Purdue is the new top team. Iu administration sucks and should be ashamed. I get it they haven't put it together in March but I am also not stupid and can see its because I have been lucky. This team can definitely win it all

Marquette isn’t quitting. This will really test Purdues toughness.

I wonder why P5 teams don’t seem to watch film from FDU and St Peters defending Edey. They both routinely fronted him with a big and brought the weak side guard around behind him on the catch to swipe at the ball. That very much helped keep bigs out of foul trouble.

With Ware’s length that would seem to be a good strategy for us.

Edey in the lane for about 10 seconds ...
