They did for a while. He didn't score the last 7 minutes of the first half. He scored 8 or 10 after the game was over, and Karaban was guarding him for some of those. Clingan played him well enough, considering that they gave him no help.

UCONN gave Edey his dinks so they could stop the rest and it worked...1 in only 7 Purdue 3 point attempts tells that story.
UConn stood on business 😂😂😂
Uconn back 2 back run was dominant. Edey Was tired asf lol

having Donovan helped a lot to not fall into double teaming Edey, we will give Edey his 40 but he's gonna work for it while we shut down your entire team down.

They had him shooting airball free throw and traveling.
They “handled” him is just plain dumb. The gameplan was VERY simple. It was the “we can’t stop him but we will put someone on him to compete and stay home so no one else gets a rhythm”. That’s exactly what happened. Sometimes it works sometimes it fails miserably. Still have to top your hats to UConn. Having an older group probably helped them stay disciplined enough not to over commit on the help defense.

It wasn't simply UCONN can't stop Edey but they'd rather give him 2's than have him pass off for 3's outside. Purdue had only 7 3-point attempts and hit only 1.
I don't know if a guy scoring more than half his team points is handled. But their strategy was to handle the other players

Edey was not handled. The rest of the team was suppressed. Smith scored about average points and the rest did not do much. Also Hurley should have been given several technicals. He has walked on the floor several times. He even pushed his player forward from the side line. Any other coach would have been Teed.

UConn’s strategy was to let Edey eat, and contain everyone else. He scored a very impressive 37 pts, but ~10 of his 21 second half points were in garbage time against Karaban (a forward) when the game was already decided. Importantly, UConn couldn’t defend him tightly due to quick and early foul trouble with their bigs (Clingan 4, Samson fouled out). If the refs had just let UConn play with their normal level of physicality, Edey would’ve struggled to put up those numbers.
Edey’s teammates had all season to think about how they can contribute besides relying on Edey…bro is getting double and triple teamed and the teammatwa cant score? Smh
Bro had 37 and 10, his teammates no showed other than Braden Smith partially. Against the 2nd best big in the country who is a projected lottery pick, he did all he could after insane usage this entire tournament and season

His points were only two, everyone else was shutdown meanwhile UConn slashing to the hoop getting layups Purdue was shooting 24 percent by time you looked up game over
They "handled" everyone else..Edey did what he does....great game plan....
ESPN always cheers for the Big Ten to win
I saw the solar eclipse from greensburg Indiana. It was the totality.
Whats insane is this Uconn went 37-3 and was clearly the best team in the country most of the season and ran away with the tournament and becoming one of the best teams we`ve ever seen and yet all BSPN did all season was shove Caitlin Clark down our throats. Uconn just went on the greatest two year tourney run yet it got less coverage than CC. smdh
is ESPN still crying about Purdue losing? Seems like most the "experts" like Jay Williams picked Purdue

They could've played 10 times and Uconn would win all 10. Everyone who knows the game of basketball knew Purdue would struggle. Edey got his but Uconn absolutely dominated Purdue's guards. Uconn's perimeter defense was the story of the game.

Andy Reid choked for 35 years never won a super bowl before mahomes is better than Pederson who won a Super Bowl with a backup qb throwing to Alshon and agholor and beat Brady. The next year made another playoff run with Foles and was a dropped catch away from winning back to back Super Bowls with a backup. Andy did nothing before Mahomes Kelce Chris jones and Sneed how is he better than Doug?

Yes they both have accolades and victories including a 30 point comeback by Pederson in the playoffs. They are both Eagle legends but Andy is more of the genius than the qb skills.
