There are plenty of reasons to like the over on Edey’s points. This number is near Edey’s regular season average of 25 points per game. Edey consistently gets to the free throw line, notching double-digit attempts in three of Purdue’s four March Madness games.
The Purdue star has dropped 27 or more points in three of four NCAA Tournament matchups as well. Take the over on Edey’s points as part of your parlay.
