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

[Vol8188]

Imagine needing 38 points from a guy 5 inches taller than everyone else on the court just to sqeak by....pathetic and cheap....not basketball.

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with this game

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Enjoyed the Season, ty for letting me not think about this screwed up World a few hours a week...

Go Big Orange

Well said!
Standing ovation and hats off to this Tennessee basketball squad!

 

[Score50]

Good season. Horrible way to end. Choked.

Refs had a lot to say about this game. Not sure we choked. Aidoo was sleep walking. That really hurt us.

 

[Spawn]

Proud of the Vola. Great season no matter what

 

[JohnWardForever]

LETS GO UCONN! (didnt think Id ever say that) Uconn will blast this team.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Well. They're getting the match up they want. We still could have beat them, but margin for error was razor thin. Got to hit shots and we didn't down the stretch. Oh well. Go huskies. It's gonna be a difficult game to watch, because million dollars says they don't call that game like they do this one. Absolutely 0 chance.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

ZZ & Aidoo really needed to help DK for us to win this…

 

[TheBigOne10]

Should be used to it

If you aren’t proud of this team fighting through 5 on 8 you are an idiot. No matter what I am proud of them.

 

[Volstylexx]

Chalk rarely holds in March madness and yet here we are. TN beats any other team in tournament this year other than Purdue or UConn. There’s no shame in this loss, just heartbreaking matchup.

 

[volplaya8]

lol…another foul…what a joke

 

[molsen81]

It’s the luck of the draw matching up with a dude that can’t be stopped. The goal next season is a #1 seed

 

[Proud Army Wife]

They decided Edey is the golden child and will hand-hold Purdue to the title.

 

[BradstarVols]

James started hot but disappeared. Oh well. Up 11 and then we fell apart.

They aren't even trying to get other people shots. They are literally trying to get Dalton the ball every time. It's costed them. Other guys like JJJ, as you said, and Gainey had decent games going.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Two flops, one shove, one push outta bounds, all by Purdue and they are shooting foul shots while Purdue only has 5 fouls called. Horrible game. 70% of the crowd Purdue fans. I give the Vols a lot of credit. Vescovi is recovering from the flu, Knecht is getting mugged, we can't make shots, and the officials are in the tank for Purdue. Good luck with that Bama. .

 

[Volnbeers]

Lmao. Ok

 

[NEO]

Should have been full court pressing since 5 minute mark.

 

[Volswin98]

This is a freaking joke

 

[davethevol]

He oversold it, no doubt. Still, shouldn't have thrown an elbow though. No need to do that at all.

ZZ has been getting hit with elbows all game. That’s how they’ve gotten separation from him.

 

[Cartervol]

You can't beat a team that gets this many calls period.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Where was the foul?

 

[DocVol]

Imagine being Aidoo and being as soft as Charmin.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

That ****ing ogre is just to much

With his goons the stripes protecting him yes

 

[onthehill71]

DK "s legs are shot. Terrible form on last several 3's...dude has played his heart out.

 

[casetopia]

lol edey gets breathed on its a foul

 

[Allvols98]

I hate these announcers
