[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 1006838, member: 2784"] Edy's style is to bang the defender to get to his spot. He isn't quick enough to be subtle in any real way. No spin moves and only a couple of drop steps to the left hand. UConn tried to push him an extra step out and then sat hard on his left shoulder expecting Edy to pound them to get to his spot. It was a mutual decision to make the play in the paint very physical. Refs just looked for advantage and called a bunch on the UConn defenders - Think Edy drew 10 or 11 fouls. FWIW they could have called the bumping but that would have been out of character for the way the tourney was called - Note DJ Burns backing in all the way from the elbow whenever he got the ball. Clingan is just a lot stronger than most anyone Edy has played against - certainly in the tourney. FWIW that wasn't the deciding point in the game unless you think Edy should have had 55 instead of 37. He got his 37 on 25 shots - efficient on any level. The rest of the team got 23 points on 29 shots - not too good any way you look at it. UConn's perimeter players pulverized Purdue. Ground them down going over screen after screen. Obviously Edy's production tailed off over the course of the game. Part was he had an unbelievably hot first 5 min or so - a pace neither he nor anyone else could keep up. And he did get worn down and tired. but I also thought the realization that he had to be perfect on the offensive end in order to make up for his teammates drained him as well. Came away with 37 and lot of folks are asking why he didn't get more :oops: [/QUOTE]
