Problem is without Edey the lack of quickness and athleticism (especially in the backcourt) is more exposed. Just hard for the Boilers to score against really athletic teams who want to play in half court.
Another possible break for the Boilers as Loyola Chicago upset 5th seeded BYU in the first round in a 3-0 sweep! The winner of Purdue/WMU plays the red-hot Ramblers who qualified for the tournament after sweeping a very good Dayton team in the A-10 championship.
