Purdue Boilermakers star Zach Edey is a big problem on the court, literally and figuratively, as the Wisconsin Badgers found out again on Sunday when they lost to their Big Ten rivals in Madison, 75-69. Edey threw his weight around and dominated the Badgers, finishing with a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds, while also swatting away three Wisconsin shots in 36 minutes of action on the floor.
Wisconsin Badgers Have No Answer for Zach Edey
With yet another stellar performance and prolific production, Edey also managed to reach a college basketball statistical territory only two others in history have made, and they’re now both in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Via ESPN:
Edey had 18 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots. The 7-foot-4 center has 201 career blocks, joining Patrick Ewing and David Robinson as the only players in NCAA history to combine 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 200 blocks while shooting at least 60% from the field.
