"Job Well Done 35! You did your job tonight. It was him that made Edey quit with about 19 mins to go in the 2nd half," Green wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "There was a turnover and I saw Edey body language walking back. He was done. Now rewatch the game from that point on. #FreeGame"
"Too bad Edey didn't have Steph to carry him like you did your entire career," wrote Anthony Lynch.
During the game, another user mentioned Edey had 29 of Purdue's 49 points at the time.
"He doubled up as national player of that year. He didn’t quit homie. Dude ballin with 0 help," wrote Dennis Marshall.
"Did you just shoutout a guy who played 5 minutes in the game….. ……For "shutting down" the guy who scored 2/3rds of his teams points?" added Paul Lenkeit.
Purdue scored just 30 points in the second half. The Boilermakers began the half down 36-30, and UConn opened up on an 11-4 run to go up 13 and never looked back. The Huskies' lead never dropped below nine the rest of the night.
Edey was 15-for-25 on the night, and the Boilermakers took just seven shots from 3-point range, making just one.
