- With at least four games to play, Edey is now one of 21 players in the last 30 years to have at least 600 points, 350 rebounds, 65 blocks and 40 assists in a season. In that span, only Michigan's Chris Webber (690 points, 362 rebounds, 91 blocks, 90 assists) in 1992-93 has done so in the Big Ten.
