Look, this entire game is about dealing with Zach Edey.
We’ve already talked a little bit about how you might try to defend him. All of those options are less than ideal for NC State. However, offensively they might have a clear advantage.
Lure Edey out of the paint
Edey likes to sit in the middle of the lane and block shots. He helps forgive a lot of sins from the Purdue guards. NC State has an athletic advantage at every position 1 through 4. But even if they get into the lane, Edey is there to alter or block anything around the rim.
