Amidst one of the most remarkable performances in national championship history, a seasoned NBA veteran offered a unique perspective. Despite Zach Edey’s impressive 37-point display, which saw him dominate the second half, Draymond Green believed it could have been even more exceptional. Green attributed Edey’s apparent struggle to tough defense from Samson Johnson, who played only five minutes and fouled out. Green commended Johnson, stating that he made Edey quit with approximately 19 minutes remaining in the game. However, some fans disagreed with Green’s assessment, highlighting Edey’s significant contribution to Purdue’s scoring and his lack of support from teammates. Ultimately, Purdue’s second-half performance fell short, with UConn’s consistent control leading them to a 75-60 victory.
