So much for megatall players like 7'4" 300 pound Zach Edey being a dying breed. Purdue could very well win it all if Edey continues to dominate in the paint.

Braden syncs really well with Edey and is a great floor general. Gonzaga were putting up a decent fight until they started to panic early in the 2nd half and get into foul trouble.

Purdue found their stride this year in the tournament making up for those last few years

Well, it looks like you think that Illinois will beat UConn. I hope you are right.

I like both teams and wish they hadn’t met this round of the tournament. Congratulations Purdue and Gonzaga will be fine under Coach Few. That Zach Edey man!! He would be my #1 overall pick. 7”4 300+lbs and he moves very well with that size, very strong, and has a soft touch. Look at his free throws- I grew up on 90s basketball and he has the most beautiful free throw for someone that size.

As much as I would love to see NC State in the Final Four, Duke is the only other team left that has the size to challenge Purdue and UConn. That said, I think Purdue/UConn would be a great title game. Both teams match up very well against each other.

Great season for the Zags! No one thought they could get here but they proved the doubters wrong

I love how Edey basically just stands on his tip toes to dunk.

after watchig purdue for 10+ yrs(i went to purdue for college in late 2000's) i feel this year might be the year! we had good players but were missing the some kind of champ fighting heart before (if i was right, we lost to under dogs almost half the time in the past decade). this year i finally see my boys playing like a champ!

Edey had his way. Even the refs couldn't impede his progress. He's pure magic. 7'6", bangs underneath, averages a foul a game. Meanwhile, game-changing touch fouls pop up everywhere around him.

I think this team can beat UCONN they both have dominating big men and Purdue leads the nation in 3 point percentage.

A lot of baskets coming from Zach Edey backing into the center of the court and shooting a hook with his right hand. Teams should blitz double him when he gets the ball going to his right and make him go left.. It looks like he is uncomfortable or does not go left a lot of use his left alot either. I want to see Connecticut and Purdue play each other.

I'm not a Purdue fan at all, but I thought if they beat Gonzaga, then it'd probably be likely that they could win it all. With Duke beating Houston, that helps Purdue out a lot. I thought if anyone could beat Purdue, it'd be Houston. I now have to hope for Tennessee to get the job done. I still think that if it comes down to Purdue and UCONN, though, that UCONN can take them down. UCONN has been solid all year, but I hope that Tennessee, Duke, or North Carolina beats them before they get that far.

Over the course of his collegiate career, Edey was head and shoulder above Montross in every major statistical category: Edey: 7'4" 300 pounds, 139 games - 17.9 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 1.3 AST, 62% FG, 70.7 FT Montross: 7'0" 250 pounds, 134 games - 11.7 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 0.6 AST, 58% FG, 62.4 FT This season, Edey was 1st in scoring, 2nd in rebounding and 3rd in double doubles. When was the last time a center led the NCAA in scoring and was runner up in rebounding? I believe the last center who came pretty close was Shaquille O'Neal, and you know how that turned out.
