The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #3 [1] Purdue Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, ESPN

[DarkVolder]

Edey has gotten away with a couple of walks today

 

[amaralfan1]

I mean the refs have long protected guys like Edey. It's the constant traveling I don't understand. It's the most basic rule of the game.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Can't beat 8 with a zero-fouling, mile walking player.

 

[jim285pro]

I’ve never yelled this much at the TV.

 

[Panthro]

Put Phillips in kneecap Edey. Show em what a real foul looks like

This is not it.

 

[chuckb1448]

We are losing because Aidoo didn't show up again, JJJ simply disappears, and ZZ ain't hitn Crap.. This is Why

 

[zaqhhh]

Already in the bonus wow

 

[TrippieRedd]

Edey is not gonna last long at all in the nba, if he even makes it. The script was written for him this season before it started

Yup. UCONN and Purdue was written before the season started. Sad.

 

[tnvols72]

besides DK, TN has no shooters. Been saying this for 2 years

 

[Baulder]

If you have ever wondered why Rick Barnes is a Sweet 16 coach, he’s shown you since he was up by 11 in this game

While playing in the elite 8. This is a special kind of stupid asinine post.

 

[Caz]

Stfu. This is the elite 8

I knew it! We start piling on Rick Barnes. Never fails

 

[SAPPER 5]

Thou shalt not layeth thine finger upon the goon.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

JJJ hasn't missed a shot all day. Why are we not trying to get him some looks

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Ridiculous the amount of protection Edey gets. You go near him, it’s a foul. Absolutely ridiculous and if you are anyone but a Purdue fan, you should be disgusted with what the NCAA is doing here.

Clingan doesn’t get this kind of whistle at UConn. The fix is in.

 

[BigALWiLson]

If this is the best crew to be working the Elite 8 the entire org needs to be investigated for fixing games. Total sh1t show of officiating. I can see a missed call or two but jesus christ himself would never get the lee way this mfer is getting for Purdue

 

[walkenvol]

Refs have decided this game

 

[BleedOrange81]

He better enjoy college letting him get away with everything. He will get that ass beat in the nba…that’s why he stayed he will never be a good pro.

 

[Tenacjim]

Gotta double Edey from here on our and hope they miss the open shots

They will find a way to call simultaneous fouls on BOTH defenders then.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I hate Uconn but I hope they absolutely blast Purdue.

Right. But it doesn’t matter. He’s no good to you on the bench. Let him play.

If he’s not playing, he’s not helping you. Get him out there. This seems to me like old school coaching wisdom that just doesn’t check out in the real world.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I just don’t get WHY, has to be a BIG 10 bias and since the usual teams aren’t good they have hitched the wagon to Purdue.

Unwatchable basketball, and I was dumb enough to think we’d see a second half whistle like the first. Which was at least bearable.

 

[Sportslady]

Edey was hooking/wrapping Awakas arm there

He’s been doing that a lot. As long as they don’t call a foul on him, he can do pretty much what he wants. He also camps in the lane without making a move to the basket. Counted to 6 one time while he just camped in the center.

 

[vol4eva]

JJJ has disappeared on offense

 

[kell7517]

Stupid take. And I just came to this forum. Knew it wouldn’t take long too find it.

ZZ is killing us today
