He had a dunk where he spun away from the defender that was unreal. And I always love a good, “if so and so weren’t as tall, they wouldn’t be good.” It’s always worth a laugh. Oh NBA scouts have been salivating for years over his footwork. They just can’t wait until he is draft eligible…..

TheWatShot Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I'm sure Purdue fans are burning up social media tonight trying to justify those laughable numbers. They'd be better off counting their blessings and just going to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team with guards that can shoot and bigs that can play Edey to a draw or close to it will beat them. In the tournament there will not be the free throw disparity Curious which bigs can play Edey to a draw or close to a draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 There is absolutely no way this can be explained away with anything other than gross incompetence or it was rigged. 46 attempts to 8 attempts is absolutely absurd. I don't care if Purdue had Shaq, MJ, LeBron and Kobe, a 38 attempt discrepancy can't be explained. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious why you think that anyone here cares about PUke. But , to answer your question, I think the UCONN guy as well as Bercot and Filipowski would all give Edey problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain things to knock him for but footwork certainly isn’t one of them. Extremely slow. Extremely. It’s why teams put him in pick and roll situations and eat him alive. This isn’t a Purdue board so I won’t keep entertaining the trash. He’s simply taller than everyone on the court, with a severe lack of basketball skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94hoosier Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 IU packs the paint and forces teams to shoot jump shoots. Yet we are basically even on free throws for the year Edey draws a lot of fouls and that is legit. But he gets away with a lot of fouls because he is big. Can’t let him get with away it because he is big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They honestly believe this outcome is nothing more than the result of “how they play drop coverage defense under Painter.” It’s okay to admit that you got the beneficial end of the whistle. It doesn’t make you less of a fan. Like I said earlier, this kind of officiating is hurting Purdue come tournament time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtsensetwo Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 The pu-NW game in the Hogbarn was another example of the Big Ten’s intentional bias in officiating. The disparity in fouls can’t be defended and anyone who watched this knows the could only be a scripted effort on the part of officials to elevate pu while hurting us. Scott continues to be aware of my dissatisfaction and call for a formal investigation and I am confident he is keeping conference officials fully up to date about the need for a formal investigation. What occurred at the tin barn last night can’t be allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 9 hours ago, Stlboiler23 said: Purdue doesn’t foul much as a team though. They give up long jumpers and play drop coverage. That’s how they play defense. NW was much more physical and likely even more so when they saw how poorly we were shooting free throws. "Purdue doesn't foul" and "Purdue doesn't get called for fouls" are two very different things. I believe you on the latter. But you're not going to convince me the FTR discrepancy from last night at all reflects reality. This conference officiates on a curve based on reputation, a hypothesis any fan base can validate for themselves when their team visits the Kohl Center. Congrats one being one of the lucky ones, I guess. Let's see how that works out for you in the Tournament... again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's holding the Big Ten back from evolving to modern basketball. Programs are building teams to contend with this, not the rest of the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBQ Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 7 hours ago, Purdue7 said: At least show the entire video not a picture IMG_1368.mov That is a good video of Edey drawing a foul by hooking his arm around the defender. I don’t see anything on the video that makes me think it is a defensive foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier4Life53 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Last night’s officiating crew should be suspended immediately! They even missed the last play when Jones clearly hooked the NW player before he fell down out of bounds…and yes, a foul on NW. Just wait until the tournament when they’re up against a SEC or an ACC officiating crew…they’re toast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that should have been a flagrant with the video. The defender has a right to that space, and actually stood his ground. Edey couldn't move him. He took his off arm, not attached to the ball making a basketball move and elbowed the dude in the head. BTW Edey's amazing footwork. he took 7 steps and moved a foot for a semi fall away shot.

Congrats one being one of the lucky ones, I guess. Let's see how that works out for you in the Tournament... again. I agree the conference isn’t consistent with officiating. I feel like some games Edey should’ve shot way more free throws than he did while other nights he shoots a lot. 17 free throw attempts for a guy that big and skilled isn’t crazy especially when Collins spoke about his strategy to use all 15 big men fouls on him. Agree it can hurt us come tournament time too. But I think this team is better insulated against different officiating compared to last year.
