Can Purdue matchup with Uconn?
What are the keys to a Purdue victory?

0 shot that's why they're 5.5 point underdogs, its free money to take upon

Unless Edey just lives at the foul line, I just don’t see it. UConn is virtually better at every position on the floor and MUCH more athletic. If Edey isn’t getting a friendly whistle, it will get ugly.

Its his best offense.
He averages 11 fta per game.

Yeah but he only shot two yesterday. He shoots two Monday night, they’ll lose by 30.

Zero shot?
I think Edey is really good.
I’m not sure there guards matchup as well as Alabama did.
We will see Monday night.

UConn has way too much quality depth for Purdue to match. I think Edey has 3 fouls in the first half.

I think Bama would’ve matched up nicely with Purdue but UCONN is a machine, you can’t drive to the rim with Clingan in the paint

8:20 CST is fricking late. That’s all I got.

They probably won’t win because Connecticut is so talented, but they do play defense better than Alabama (KenPom defensive efficiency is 12th, Alabama’s is 111th) and their offensive efficiency is almost the same (3rd in the country where Alabama is 2nd). They just play a slower game. Their guards are going to have to make the open looks they get and limit Newton and Castle on the other end of the court.
They should be able to force UConn to shoot more 3’s than normal because of Edey’s size. They’ll focus on making UConn’s players that aren’t Spencer and Karaban shoot from the outside and run an efficient offense limiting turnovers. UConn has two guys that should be able to defend Edey, so the complementary players have to step up. Keep an eye on Trey Kaufman-Ren (#4 on Purdue). He has a high motor and crashes the offensive glass well. He could get around Karaban to get extra opportunities.
