Edey has 7" on burns. Guarding a guy half a foot taller is a helluva tall order (even if the rumors rust Burns actually weighs as much as Edey are true).
And Edey averages 25 points and 12 rebounds a game (and more through the tournament so far), while Burns averages 13 and 4, less than half as many points and 1/3 the rebounds.
Burns is going to have his hands full trying to stop Edey from scoring over him, and would seem to have no chance of contending for rebounds.
Not a bad player (although I wonder about his low rebounding number), but this does not look like a match up of equals.
The real story will be if UConn and Purdue both put away their next opponents (they should, but I'm not going to count NCSU or Bama out), and UConn's 7' 2" Donovan Clingan matches up against Edey. He's just a sophomore and is only averaging 13 and 7.5, but is close to Edey's size and has reportedly been playing very well.
That could be a match up to remember for a long time (if it happens).
