UK getting beat by Oakland ended up being the highlight of the tourney, I’m glad we made the elite 8 but none of the games are going to be classics, Oaklands boy raining a firestorm of 3s on the Mildcats was probably my favorite moment.
I hate that it’s some normally bottom feeder school too that has our number, it’s not even a respectable opponent that keeps getting the breaks at the wrong time against us.
I hate Purdue, and it’s not like a I hate LSU or Miss St because they’re a conference rival and you’re supposed to. My hatred for Purdue is vile and nasty, and it feels gross.
There’s no shame in losing in the elite 8, but I’m so disheartening and pissed off. We’re in a new good era for the Vols but this PoS low tier big 10 team has our number in multiple sports now. Why does god hate the Vols so much that he would somehow make us in some weird unofficial rivalry...
I’m just sick of Purdue at this point. I would have rather faced anyone else than them because at this point even as an underdog I can’t enjoy this game. I want it too bad, and my hate is building too much for that school.
looking at Creighton and their reputation of not fouling, should Barnes gameplan to pound the paint and make them foul or get easy drives? We do what we did against Texas and shoot badly like that and we lose if they shoot their normal game.
