NC State has their own big guy. It should be fascinating to watch.


Dude is fat... but he is sure quick. However, he is giving up seven inches to the Edster.

I bet he gets around him plenty... but he will have to use his body to keep from getting blocked when he goes up to shoot.

On defense maybe he can push him out enough to get him out of his comfort zone. But he is not tall enough to handle him close to the bucket.

I don' think their shooters can make up the difference if you limit Edey. They are role players.

Zone the bastard. Go full metal Old School Jim Boeheim on Purdue, and make them shoot the ball to beat you.

hope burns can push him out at least a couple feet farther from the basket, then try to front him when they try to pass into him with one the guards at the top of the key

you cant try and block him he'll get every call, so just try and push him out an burns is big enough to where he might be able to do that, vols just dont have the personnel to do that

dj cant really get up the floor that quick either so playing well in transition without him from state's guards will be key. half court offense will be fun to watch. glad im not a ref having to figure out how to call these too
