An introvert's nightmare lol

How so?

Imagine you're the quiet type on campus and people are going nuts throughout the tournament around you, and it only becomes a louder and more crowded group.

Nth circle of hell.

At least at home I can turn the volume down.

I feel like he's slower. I mean in the FIBA he couldn't stay on the floor.

Worse, but not by much. In the NBA, you would have to put Edey in the dunker's spot. Any good NBA big would front him and force teams to throw over the top. He's not that type of athlete to score consistently that way.

Why is Edey treated with such kid gloves by the announcers? Like a make a wish kid. So **** annoying

Honestly I thought Tennessee would defend Edey better than they have with the forwards and perimeter players they got. I knew Purdue woudln't be able to defend Knecht. They aren't that good defensively outside of Edey.

Vols can't get anything in the halfcourt. Knecht needs more help from his teammates.

Been like this all season unfortunately. He’s the entire team

Edey burns a hole in the rim with that stare on his free throws

I dont get the hate for Edey. I think its fun having a player dominate with a simple inside game with massive size. It doesn't happen much anymore.

Chuck Everett · Post #1091 » by **Chuck Everett** » Sun Mar 31, 2024 8:32 pm

Well it would have been nice to see someone in the starting lineup aside from Knecht do something. Gainey, Awaka and Estrella worked their butts off.

Cant wait to see what duke4life says once Edey drops 40/20 next round.

He's the consensus national POY, however, Purdue plays ugly basketball. However, it is effective.

It would be prettier if the guards weren't so bleh

The only two nba prospects on these teams carrying their teams hard. No surprise there.

No disagreement. Purdue is marching on.

Good keep away by Purdue before the foul

The Rainmaker · Post #1098 » by **The Rainmaker** » Sun Mar 31, 2024 8:37 pm

The Vols' second leading scorer this season averages 11.9ppg and shoots 39.8% from the field. Yikes.

Edey blocking Khinect very poetic.

He’ll drop 40/20 in a 76-64 loss against Duke. Calling it now!
