One reason for Purdue’s rebounding prowess is obvious – in each of the last three seasons it had arguably the best individual rebounder in the country. Center Zach Edey was not only 7-foot-4, he also possessed superior instincts for gaining rebounding position and soft hands that permitted him to corral more loose balls than most centers.
