Purdue basketball vs. Samford: Zach Edey wins jump ball against 5-8 Samford guard

Zach Edey doesn't face a lot of challenges on opening tips, but Monday's version is something he'd never seen.

The 7-4 senior and reigning National Player of the Year went up against 5-8 Samford guard Dallas Graziani. Yep, Edey had a 20-inch advantage.

Samford put out a hilarious video over weekend with Graziani "training" for going up against Edey.

Graziani knew better come game time. He didn't jump as Edey made something of a reverse tip to Braden Smith.

Both teams had fun with it pregame.
