WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – After rolling to three wins in the Phil Knight Legacy, Zach Edey and Ethan Morton were named to the All-Tournament Team announced late last night at the conclusion of the tournament.
The Boilermakers won the title with impressive wins over West Virginia (80-68), No. 6 Gonzaga (84-66) and No. 8 Duke (75-56). It marks the second straight year that Purdue has won its FeastWeek Tournament after claiming the Hall of Fame Tipoff Classic title a year ago.
Edey earned tournament MVP honors after a dominating performance in all three games. He scored 24 points with 12 rebounds in the win over West Virginia, 23 points with seven rebounds and three blocks against Gonzaga and 21 points with 12 rebounds vs. Duke. He averaged 22.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 assists in the three games in Portland.
For the season, he is averaging 21.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 assists in 29.8 minutes per contest. He is shooting 61.5 percent from the field and 75.6 percent from the free throw line.
Morton, meanwhile, was named to the squad after the ultimate glue-guy performance. He averaged just 4.7 points, but contributed 4.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the three wins. He was also Purdue's top-defensive player and boasted a ridiculous 19-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
The Boilermakers moved to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 and will play at Florida State on Wednesday night in the ACC / Big Ten Challenge.
