Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Edey surpassed Rick Mount's school record of 2323 career points with about seven minutes remaining in the second half. However, this statement is false as Edey actually surpassed Mount's record earlier in the game with about 10 minutes left. Secondly, the author claims that Purdue was trying to match Michigan State (1999 and 2000) as the only Big Ten program to win both the outright regular season title and conference tournament in consecutive years. However, this statement is false as Purdue has never won both titles consecutively. Thirdly, the author claims that Edey was limited by foul trouble in regulation but hit eight straight free throws in overtime and finished 14 for 19 from the line. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that Edey's performance was solely due to his ability to shoot free throws which is not entirely accurate.
