My take on tonight's game. It won't cone down to the 2 bigs. It will come down to guard play. I am less impressed with Purdue's guards. Edey inflates their stats with kick outs and easy assist baskets. Specifically their point guard has been trapped in 2 straight games by only 1 defender. He's turning man defense into a trap all on his own. You can survive that vs NC state but not against UCONN. UCONN's guards live off movement and second chance points, but they haven't played many team defenses where the guards don't have to double Clingan and where the whole team rebounds. UCONN'S guards committing to helping rebound the basketball is key to their winning. Don't be fooled. Tonight is all about guard play.

@KB21 Clint on offense. Post player with average conversion rate, no shot outside 5 feet. Sets picks, rolls to the basket comes out for handoffs to move the basketball at the top of the key. Clogs the lane, mishandles passes constantly. Weighs around 255 lbs. Superior offensive rebounder due to effort and living around the basket. Makes $24 mil/yr. Edey on offense. Post player with superior conversion rate. Good hands and ability to pass out of the post. Sets picks and rolls to the basket. Unknown shooting ability. Comes out for handoffs and is an able passer from the top. Capable hands, holds ball high. Average to good ability to see the floor. Weighs 300lbs. Superior offensive rebounder due to size, commitment to boxing out and living near the basket. Rookie contract will be around $5mil/yr for 4 years. Analysis - Edey should have a slightly better offensive impact than Capela almost immediately. Defensively. Clint better the farther from the basket you get. Edey better guarding bigs in the post and altering shots by drivers/slashers who have beat their man. Clint better at guarding 3 point shooters and stopping guards on the switch. Edey (drop coverage) better at stopping the lob/slash/dish. Analysis: Both have flaws. Clint struggles against large bigs. Edey will struggle to stop good shooters who pull up or toss floaters.

Bruno has played well lately, but he was due for a stinker. Tonight has not been his night. Matthews and Vit playing a bit lazy too.

That 3 possession series by Jalen just changed the game. 2 baskets out of it, but should have been 3.

They fooled around in that 1st quarter and found out that you can't look past any team in the NBA.

A little loose with the ball but effort looks good.
