Purdue men's basketball head coach Matt Painter says it is "moronic" to claim center Zach Edey was able to lead the Boilermakers to the Sweet 16 solely due to his height.
Edey, who is 7-foot-4, led the Boilermakers with 23 points and 14 rebounds as No. 1 Purdue eliminated No. 8 Utah State Sunday in the second round of the 2024 NCAA tournament.
"They just shouldn't cover basketball," Painter said, when asked about critics who say Edey is "just tall" after the win.
"I just think everybody should take a test on their knowledge of what they're doing," Painter continued.
