After falling to the floor while clutching his left ankle midway through the first half, Zach Edey bounced back and delivered a memorable performance in his final game at Mackey Arena.
An adoring and adulatory crowd at Mackey Arena fell silent with 12:36 remaining in the first half as the player they'd all come to see — the player who will be remembered among the best to ever do it at Purdue — lay flat on his back beneath the basket, with his left hand clutching his left ankle.
Another masterfully restrained performance from Edey resulted in 32 minutes of playing time and only three fouls committed. Keeping Edey on the court as long as possible will be Purdue's cleanest path to postseason success after back-to-back horrifying losses in the NCAA Tournament.
