Zach Edey's Impressive Performance Falls Short Against UConn

Zach Edey had one of the best performances in national championship history on paper, but one NBA veteran says it should have been even better. The Purdue big man dropped 37 points, but the UConn Huskies went back-to-back with a 75-60 victory, continuing their March Madness dominance from last year.

Job Well Done 35! You did your job tonight. It was him that made Edey quit with about 19 mins to go in the 2nd half,' Green wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'There was a turnover and I saw Edey body language walking back. He was done. Now rewatch the game from that point on. #FreeGame' Social media users were quick to roast Green for the take.

Too bad Edey didn't have Steph to carry him like you did your entire career,' wrote Anthony Lynch. During the game, another user mentioned Edey had 29 of Purdue's 49 points at the time. 'He doubled up as national player of that year. He didn’t quit homie. Dude ballin with 0 help,' wrote Dennis Marshall. 'Did you just shoutout a guy who played 5 minutes in the game….. ……For 'shutting down' the guy who scored 2/3rds of his teams points?' added Paul Lenkeit.

Edey was 15-for-25 on the night, and the Boilermakers took just seven shots from 3-point range, making just one. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
