Don't have too good a feeling about this one, fellas.

Purdue is good enough defensively, that if they hit their shots from deep, it may not matter how good or bad we shoot.

Going to have to hope for a slugfest like last night's game. Purdue will slow this game down - and if they are running up and down the floor - it's likely because they're up 20 or so. It will be extremely tough to make these guys run if they don't want to.

Anything positive to say? :)

I am super pumped up for tonights game, like alot have said, good measuring stick for Vols right now. I hope we can push the tempo up alot more than last night. Have 100% faith in Coach Pearl. I think Vols make big statement tonight and win by at least 15. Time to run and gun. Go Vols!!!!

Their D looked very good last night. This one would be a very good win if we could pull it out, somehow. My hopes aren't exactly soaring on this one either.

Hello Tennessee fans. As a Purdue fan, I frequent the Gold and Black forums to follow Boilermaker athletics. Over 1000 Vols posters (or perhaps 3 with many different registrations) have inundated our basketball forum with more obscene venom than I have ever seen from our biggest rivals. I've been around long enough to know that these offensive pictures and language are not the norm from any fan base, but do you have any ideas on why all the nastiness? I can't remember any recent purdue/tennessee athletic contests that might have brought on this amount of animosity.
At any rate, the few posters here seem rational. I wish you good luck in the game tonite and in the season to come.:peace2:

Hey man. I too went over to the Rivals board and was amazed to see the few Vol fans that had went over there and bashed the way they did. This is ridiculous considering our tradition isn't 'trash talking' worthy to say. So here's to a good game buddy! If I had to pick one player overall who I'd want as a Vol, I'd certainly grab Robbie Hummel. He's amazing and quite the package. I've been following him since he first arrived on campus and have always been extremely impressed with his talent and sense of maturity.

As to the game...hell yesssss!! Its about time!!! I personally think Purdue is just as championship material as anyone else. They can play tough D, have a potent offense, and I have great respect for their overall game. As far as who to contain, it's impossible. They have so many weapons that you'd figure to only slow them down. They are too smart to turn over 20 times and best believe Painter has this club ready to defend. Stick it to Moore, Johnson, and Hummel and pray that UT shows composure.
