Feelings maybe…
“How’s the weather up there?”
“Loved you in the Addam’s Family”
“The Bond people called and wanted to know if you want to be the next villain?”
All I got.🤷♂️
I still can’t believe they lost to St Peters in the sweet 16
Make the doorway in and out of their locker room 6 feet tall.
How old is Tonya Harding these days?
He doesn’t even look like a really big human. He looks like another species or a character from a fable.
Is he going to the NBA? Kid has TWO MORE YEARS of eligibility after this one if he doesn’t.

It feels like people nationally never saw Edey play until this year. The guy has a track record. He’s ridiculously tall so if he gets the ball at the rim forget it. But how much better can he be than he was last year when he played about 18 minutes a game and split time with Trevion Williams? I sure as hell can’t see him getting 31 and 22 against us. Maybe it’s me but I just don’t worry about big guys anymore. Let him score 31. He’ll have to do it on a lot more possessions than an open Jordan Bohannon would.
I was at that game. After intimidating st peters early, you could actually see them picking on him. If he got the ball at the basket it was over, but he really couldn't handle the ball away from the basket and looked pretty clumsy. On offense, the Peacocks took the ball at him and would pull up in the paint for short jumpers which was an effective strategy. We were actually preferring him to be on the floor as st Peter's fans than Williams who is a better basketball player.
Definitely don’t see Edey as a guy who you’re going to be concerned if you surround him with bodies because he’s going to make quick decisions and distribute to open shooters. Offense will grind to a halt as uncorks his cumbersome power game.
Looks much better to me
Williams was a beast against us at our home game
When we took the lead with about 10 seconds left, I told the Purdue fan sitting behind me that we can’t stop him,
Just give him the ball inside
Which they did. He was way worse for us that game then the tall giant
Even still, Purdue looked all out of whack on offense. I remember watching and thinking St Peters had a good game plan. But them winning also required Purdue to pretty much play their worst offensive game of the year. And with the mismatches they had across they board, it was pretty inexcusable how poor they played. Something about tournament time, those rims look a lot smaller when you’re trailing
Edey has improved but Purdue is also now entirely built around him. Last year they ran stuff for Jaden Ivey and Sasha Stefanovic. Now literally everything is based around Edey.
Geo retweeted this and called Painter an offensive genius. The result is that teams have to try so hard to take these actions away that it opens stuff up for everyone else. They don't run plays for other guys really, they're just all in a position to capitalize when something opens up as a result of an overplay on Edey.

They live together in perfect harmony.
He has differently improved his handle and his footwork has improved as I thought he got away with a ton of walks last year. I think the TJD game plan will be pulled out for Edey and Purdue. But need that level of defensive intensity and rotations and close outs to take away threes.
The flip side is we can play a half dozen styles of defense that Purdue can't
