Well, this is clearly the biggest indicator of why Purdue just couldn’t ever get anything going offensively. Edey was fine against the smaller sized FDU defenders but he just couldn’t get the ball enough to truly be effective. Edey scored 21 points on just 7/11 field goals and that was a number that should have been doubled minimally against a team like FDU. All to often, however, Purdue’s wings and guards stagnated on the offensive end and didn’t get FDU to move laterally enough to prevent the double and triple teams effectiveness. Instead, players caught passes, hesitated when they couldn’t pass to Edey immediately, and then didn’t move the ball quickly enough to take advantage of the presence of Zach inside.
