I think what bothers me is his teammates are absolutely useless and can’t create shots for themselves. Instead they just feed Edey the ball and watch. That’s also on the coach who can’t draw up any other play but “pass the ball to the big”. Reminds me of the Fresh Prince episode where the coach was like “just pass the ball to Will”
It’s pretty shocking how Purdue went into this finals so unprepared and no backup plan.
His teammates have always sucked. No amount of coaching was gonna change that.
I don’t recall them being this useless. Mind you that’s also because UCONN plays absolutely shutdown parameter D.
They aren’t usually this useless because basically every team in the country has to double Edey all game just to stop him from scoring 50. UConn didn’t have to do that because they have Clingan (and also far better athletes all over the court).
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.
