I know I’m biased but STL has the best opening day tradition in baseball IMO. Always such a spectacle.

Basically nothing egregious which is what a lot of folks seem to think. If it were the NBA? Yeah they’d have a legit gripe.

I’ll admit he got away with a walk there but it wasn’t 3 seconds.

Lol he absolutely left the lane during that 14 seconds, the count resets on a shot attempt, it resets when he has the ball, etc… should I continue?

Yes it’s different. Lifting his foot that’s in the lane resets the 3-second count (if the other foot is outside the lane) which isn’t a thing in basically every other league.

From what I’ve seen, a good number of folks don’t understand the college 3-second rule because what Edey does is perfectly legal.

Obviously it’d change the game. But if 3 fouls were called on him in a half, how many would be called on the defense. If you told me 3 were called on him but 10-15 were called on the defense, I’d say yeah that’s probably pretty accurate on what could be called if they didn’t let anything go. I remember a play from the TN game where he was backing a guy down in the post and the guy literally had two hands on him/grabbing him the whole time. And the announcers were like, they have to call this foul right?! It took the refs like 7 seconds before they finally blew the whistle.

For those two obvious fouls that weren’t called, how many do you think go uncalled when he’s on offense? Obviously there’s no way to know that but Ant Wright on X has done a breakdown of how many fouls could’ve been called on Edey and how many he could’ve drawn. IIRC, his number was 3 and the fouls against was in the 20’s. Those weren’t what were actually called but he went through play by play and pointed out what COULD’VE been called. Does he get away with fouls? Of course. But for every foul he gets away with, the defense gets away with a multiple of that number.

Zero doubt. All of the people on social media calling him Foul Ming would take him in a heartbeat. It’s honestly pretty wild the amount of hate he gets. But I just laugh at all of the lazy/bad takes people come up with.

Ahh someone else who doesn’t understand the college 3-second rule.

Nice bait lol.

She’s going to bring some fans to Fever games that’s for sure. And I thought I heard she’s dating the oldest McCaffrey too?

Long overdue!

Lol that’s not accurate at all. We were freaking out that he’d leave.

Hey I’m more than able to say that your banners are impressive. Zero doubt about it.

Appreciate the reply. I feel like it probably depends on the age of the Purdue fan tbh. For me, I haven’t seen what you’re referring to but I’m also in my 30’s and wasn’t around when IU was in the midst of their heyday. I think both fanbases have their share of crazies and their share of level-headed fans.

Curious if you could expand on the “typically have a huge chip on their shoulders and live in an alternate reality” comment. I think myself and my friends that are Purdue fans always expect the worst and are usually pretty level-headed but maybe you’ve had different experiences.

Good problem to have lol. From what we’ve heard, the game in Toronto against Alabama he cleaned up with NIL opportunities.

I love Loyer but he’s just so damn skinny haha. I feel like Benter has more potential on defense because of his build/height compared to the other guys mentioned. Appreciate the insight and congrats on the state title man that’s legit.

Damn that’s some high praise man I’m glad to hear it! I think he’s definitely good enough to play just a logjam of guys in front of him so we’ll see what happens. I fully expected Ryan Cline to redshirt and he didn’t so who knows. One thing I love about Benter is his all-around game. I think for some Purdue fans, they thought he’d be another Cline/Stefanovich/Mathias but I think he has a much better all-around game. Would you agree?

Think Benter plays next year or redshirts?

Solid for you guys congrats! He showed a lot of potential this year.

No idea and it doesn’t matter IMO. You guys are in this position regardless of whether you’re 3-3 or 6-0 against us the last 3 years. Head-to-head record over a small timeframe doesn’t mean much.

What an odd flex

My graduating class was just shy of 1,000 and that was almost 20 years ago.
