    Which one of those is anchored to the floor? Another big problem with Edy is he is 7’4“ and after 80% of the entry passes he drops the ball down to the level a five foot guard can take it away.

    FYI, I am not a homer, I am a fan that wants to see all my long suffering Purdue fans win an NCAA championship…

    Burns is a more skilled player and far more entertaining to watch but I'd be shocked if he isn't saddled with several quick fouls if he tries to guard Edey. If he does avoid foul trouble though, he has enough bulk to make it harder for Edey to elbow him out of the way on offense or shove him out of the way for rebounds. With his skilled footwork and touch around the rim, he should be able to score if he can stay in the game.

    And you also bring up another aspect, what will the officials call? I suspect a continuation of the foul disparity the announcers started will be a topic going into the final four. Funny thing is letting T foul Edy without call was what kept them close in the first half.

    Then there is the possibility of it going the other way, Edy gets in foul trouble trying to guard Burns. Since he is a one of a kind there is not much experience against a player like him…

    Should be entertaining, heavyweight bull vs. strong giraffe. That Burns showed some impressive moves and touch for such a big guy. He'll be a tired pup by the end of the game, if he has to lean against Edy the whole game!

    Good point, Burns has to defend a guy he has limited experience dealing with as well…

    Edey has had industrial strength plot armor so far so I'd be shocked if he is in any real foul trouble. Hopefully the refs don't make the game about them and let the players play.
