I doubted this Purdue team all year long. I never bet them because I saw them very early and they looked slow and sloppy. Maybe it was just the early season and they really didn't get things together like a well oiled machine. I didn't like Zach Edey at all to be honest. I thought he was big and slow and just developed this bias against him and Purdue. I was wrong. This Purdue team is very good and so is UConn. Can't take anything away from wither team. I rooted against Purdue in every game this entire tournament. I don't think I bet against them, but I totally rooted against them. Here is what I 've seen. Purdue uses Edey to get what they want and to stop what needs to be stopped. If someone is going on a little run or has momentum, they go to Edey. He either sinks a big bucket or two or gets fouled. He's just too damn big. These college kids can't defend him. I know UConn got a real big man and he's very good as well..I think this game comes down to the big men. Purdue knows what they have in Edey and what he can and can't do. He is going to get UConn guys into foul trouble if the refs let them play. If Not, he will have to earn everything. He does get a lot of calls that are total BS, but he still gets those calls. Purdue has the shooters to hang with UConn and it seems like every square and sharp is on UConn...I don't want to be on that side of this game. I want to be with the bookies here. +& is a line I don't lasts very long. I think if this gets to 7.5, it gets hammered right back down. I'm going to take the +7 and Edey.
