That said, UConn is far superior at every other position and that should more than prove to be the difference. Especially given that Clingan will likely limit Edey more than he is used to.

Yeah I agree. It’s not a knock on edey who is a terrific college player. It’s more saying that in college the game is sometimes over before the game even starts when you have such a size advantage over an opponent that just doesn’t have a single big or the depth to handle it. I’m not saying that’s the only thing Purdue does but they sure got Edey to the FT line an awful awful lot in the tourney. Apart from nc state who I think everyone knew was a little in over their heads.
