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

[Score50]

Proud of our Vols. We fought until the end. Barnes had them ready. Will always think this team was great. Also…..I hope Purdue gets beat by Connecticut by 30. Eddy sucks and Purdue sucks.

 

[YankeeVol]

Knecht running on fumes

Still playing his a*** off though.

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

Shut up, that's ridiculous

 

[knoxchief]

I just got back from my Daughter's house. First post on here today. Has anyone else noticed how many time that goon did a hook and hold and no call?

 

[volplaya8]

The script has been complete since before the season even started. It was always about Purdue and Edey’s return and the redemption storyline. We were never going to be given a fair shake today. Yes, we missed shots. But we never were going to win with this officiating.

We only could have controlled it by beating Uk and MsSt at end of year….I am not mad about those games per say but I knew months ago what was going to occur if we had to go through Purdue…sad

 

[RockyTop140]

Have to have a steal here. Please

 

[TheBigOne10]

We’ve got some real dumbass defeatist fans.

 

[EaglesVols91]

Got absolutely ****ed this game. Purdue will get blown out by UConn

 

[KTrain]

So why would CBS care about who is in the title game if they’re not broadcasting it?

The pre game bracket broadcast said it so they care they said can’t wait to see UConn v Purdue simple as that annt other ?

 

[Panthro]

Steal on in-bound is our only hope.

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

Lmao...so stupid

 

[GAVol]

FTs are 11-31

 

[BreatheUT]

Knect is the only real threat we had at the end. No inside presence.

 

[Carl Pickens]

29 free throws to 11 this

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

I ****ing hate Purdue. I hope everyone sssociated with that place gets the flu

I wish worse

 

[volbound1700]

We just did not have a big guy capable of competing with Edey. Also Purdue fans were loud. I wish we had this team last year, we would have beaten Florida Atlantic and made Final Four.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Impossible to beat the refs.

 

[vol94]

Proud of this team and Barnes. Tonight loss. Edey is a beast and they will go to finals imo. It hurts as I want, as do other acid Vol fans, want TN to win a title.

Too many droughts and Aidoo not showing is the difference imo

 

[igotworms]

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

Clueless
How do you coach the foul discrepancy?
But I guess somepeople just need someone to blame

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

words…

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

Dude shut the ever f*** up

We have some of the damn dumbest f***in' fans in the world.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

He has to do it all... his teammates owe him an apology for barely showing up

Agree but gotta know that is the most pivotal possession. Barnes should've called a timeout but we all know he doesn't do that

 

[Go47]

Probably harsh on my part. But yes to be that close and not make some wide open shots feels like a choke.

No - ZZ and Aidoo choked. Good players and they wanted to win worse than we could imagine. But they choked.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

24 fouls against us and 12 against them, uphill battle. No clue why NCAA wants this as a product man, terrible.

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

This never stops being stupid.
