Edey makes watching basketball painful

I'm probably not PC here, but I have watched A LOT of High School basketball the past 15 years, and Edey reminds me of a Class 2A, 6-3 Girl post player who isn't really good, but nobody can do anything against her.

and Purdue is going to win easy if they keep getting 4 times to score.

It's hard to tell your team to go right at Edey when you know he's going to be protected from foul calls, but that's the best strategy, his footwork is pretty slow on defense.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Lots of over the back/pushing not being called. I thought players were entitled to their vertical space?

 

[twincyties]

It comes off as bitter on your part.

I enjoy every second of it.

Yeah, purdue had about 4 chances on that last possession, and most were created by un-called fouls

 

[Cyclonepride]

Not sure Utah State can hang when the refs are calling different games for these two teams. Purdue going straight through guys for rebounds without getting called for it.

 

[RezClone]

This Utah State coach is gonna get hired away isn't he?

Yeah, Utah State had lost 7 straight first round games before Thursday. Not an easy job and getting tougher with realignment.

 

[Cyched]

Not sure about that call. Thought USU guy initiated contact.

 

[CycloneErik]

Johnny Lawrence having some rough sequences.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Edey getting superstar calls for being 7'4", that's it.

Johnny Lawrence having some rough sequences.

He wouldn't leave well enough alone.

Eddy is fouling on the offensive end like crazy. He just used his body to shove off the defender and they call the foul on the defender. This game is a sham, a travesty so far. The refs are completely protecting Purdue.

 

[ScottyP]

Utah State making terrible decisions

Utah State making terrible decisions

Shooting some terrible 3s.

 

[HFCS]

Edey getting superstar calls for being 7'4", that's it.

He should be on bench with three, the early play were he slid in front of player on a made basket for lots of contact on the chest was totally baffling. Should be no blocking fouls the entire game if that's not an obvious blocking foul.

 

[ClonerJams]

Utah State is not playing smart

It's crazy, I've never seen a player in the college game officiated like this.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

I’m not one to blame the refs, but holy $hit is this game a unwatchable because of them. Granted, there are some stupid fouls but there’s a lot of Ticky tack stuff too

Yeah maybe it's not such a bad thing we aren't playing purdue after all. I, for one, couldn't handle the screw job.
