Basketball BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP: PENN STATE VS PURDUE PREVIEW AND GAME THREAD - 3:30 PM - CBS

Henn missed 2 open 3s. He's gotta hit those.

Pickett & Funk each missed a 3 but those were tougher shots.
 
Watch how slow Edey is at running up the court. We need to move fast on offense to force him to run and tire him out. And if he doesn’t run up court fast we will be five on four without him in the paint.
We have to try something different…we can’t play them straight up.

We also need to force him left. We can't defend that right handed hook shot.
 
Need to make open shots and not force them or bad passes. PSU looks a little tight on offense. Edey is going to get his points, but we just need to make some threes to make up for it.
 
I'm waiting for Clary to make a kick out 3. It seems like he misses all of them.

I disagree with double teaming down low when Edey is on the bench. Can't leave guys open.
 
Edey just stood there when Njie got the ball and dunked it. he is not taking any chance whatsoever of getting fouls. i really can't see us winning unless we go on some kind of unbelievable hot streak with 3s
 
Edey has two scratches on his arm. Forfeit the game.
he gets beat up

especially since the big ten refs practically allow you to beat the crap out of each other

one of the reasons big ten teams sometimes exit early in the dance
 
This one is close to over unless we can get multiple stops and scores...just trading baskets at best wont cut it
 
Gene Keady got mad at the refs, so they had to call two quick fouls on PSU.
 
Why is Purdue leading by 8? Maybe it's Edey. 7-9 (78%) shooting, 15 pts, 7 rebounds.

IMO PSU has done a pretty good job defending him. My only criticism is that they aren't overplaying him and making him go left.
 
So the announcers have decided that every single mistake PSU makes is somehow related to Zach Edey. They announced the game last night and we made plenty of mistakes and Edey wasn’t even on the floor. Maybe it was the thought of playing Edey the next night which caused PSU to mess up.

RUT, Indy, NW, and MD beat PUR. What was their secret? They all have bigger defenders but not Edey big.

Edey wasn't hitting that percentage yesterday. I agree, we seem to be defending decent. He's just hitting them. Hopefully that changes in the 2nd half.

You’re right, but it’s still annoying as hell. Just like when he reaches up and gets an offensive rebound and they act like he did something amazing. He’s 7’4, he should be able to rebound.
 
Well the are within eight going into the half.
Does anyone know where Mahaffey is?
What would he do? I'm not even sure what Clary can do with this matchup. I think Henn is key. He missed 2 wide open 3s and we haven't seen much from him since then. Clary missed a wide open 3 but that's no surprise.

The announcers were right. Purdue is staying with our 3 pt shooters and daring them to drive because Edey is there to clean up on defense.
 
3 point shooting is the name of the game for us everybody knows that… being ice cold today was going to give us 0 chance to win this game
