I decided to go back and look at all of the game that Purdue either lost or struggled. I wanted to figure out what type of defense or personnel was responsible for slowing down Purdue 7’4, 300lb center, Zack Edey.
Truth is, nothing has stopped him all season long. He really hasn’t had a bad game and he stays out of foul trouble. He’s shooting 62% from the floor and 71% from the stripe.
So what should NC State be doing with their gameplan?
Well, Burns has to make it hard for Edey to get deep in the paint where he does all his damage.
