While Purdue is not the favorite to win the title, its big man is the Final Four MVP frontrunner.
This is despite the Boilermakers being underdogs to win the National Championship at +190; you are getting an ever-so-slight discount on their title odds by betting on Edey.Should there be a wild upset to win it all, you’re looking at Alabama’s Mark Sears and NC State’s DJ Burns and DJ Horne before you get to extreme long-shot territory.
In a vacuum, there’s a chance that a player puts up such a herculean effort that they could be considered for the award despite a losing effort, similar to LeBron James in the 2016 NBA Finals.But even then, Andre Iguodala still won Finals MVP despite James’ insane efforts and stat line. There has not been a player win the Final Four MVP award without winning the National Championship since 1983 when Hakeem Olajuwon put up an incredible performance in a losing effort to NC State.
Prior to that, the winner being the runner-up was a semi-normal occurrence, but it’s been 30 years since it has happened again.It will likely be one of the four UConn Huskies players to win the award this year, but it’s anyone’s guess who will actually win it.
