A lot of purdues run has relied on Edey getting tons of free throws and UConn doesn’t need to do that.
It’s the matchup we all want to see. But in the end Clingons the better player with a better supporting cast

His cast is most certainly better. Especially if they can hit 3s like they did when they were running away from Alabama.
Purdue’s path was always going to be efficiency. They haven’t shot the 3 well all Tounament. If they get hot from 3 they’ll be tough. Edy for what he is in terms of mobility is a smart player with good vision. If they can shoot a good percentage from 3 and UConn doesn’t, UConn might struggle.
UConn has more paths to victory, but Purdue is going to be tough. But if they play like ****ing morons they might get boat raced.
