WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Tom Izzo will see Zach Edey posting up in his nightmares for quite a while.
Purdue’s star big man and national player of the year candidate dominated Michigan State basketball for the second time in less than two weeks Sunday. Edey finished with another career high with 38 points as the top-ranked Boilermakers cruised to a 77-61 victory over the Spartans at Mackey Arena.
The 7-foot-4 center’s previous career high came Jan. 16 in East Lansing, when he finished with 32 points with 17 rebounds and hit the game-winning layup in Purdue’s 64-63 victory.
