He beats the hell out of people in the post and they call the defenders for the foul. He fouled out 3 of their top players and shot 19 of Purdue's 32 free throws to Wisconsin's total of 9 free throws for the entire game.
Regarding that one particular "blocking foul" near the end of regulation with the game tied. This Wisconsin player sets up a solid squared up defensive stance near the FT line, feet planted, not moving, squarely in front of Edey with Edey about 4 feet away. Edey proceeds runs straight over the guy like a tank, knocking him on his butt and they call the guy for blocking. Worst call I've seen by any official this year. Even the tv team said it was a charge. Edey made both fts to give Purdue a 2 point lead.
Glad Wisconsin won in the OT and I like the way they play. I'm hoping to see the BIG championship game that could potentially feature Wisc vs Illinois. I also like Illinois. But Nebraska will be a challenge for the Illini to get to that final.
