Edey has 29 points, 16 rebounds; No. 1 Purdue beats Davidson

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Purdue center Zach Edey kept taking his shots when Davidson sent multiple defenders at him Saturday night. “The funny thing is at halftime, I felt we played pretty well against him — and he had 17 and 11.” Furst’s quick second-half start helped the Boilermakers start breaking away. But when Davidson closed to 45-43 with 9:05 to go, Edey answered with all of Purdue’s points in a 7-2 run. And when Mennenga’s 3 with 4:13 left cut the deficit to 54-51, Purdue went back to Edey, who drew a foul and made two free throws. Then, when Davidson got to 58-54 with 3:30 to play, Purdue finally took advantage of Edey’s presence by finding open shots and open lanes.
