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

Do they call a foul on the ogre?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Yall ready to be infuriated in the championship game? That game will be called drastically different.

 

[vol94]

What would you have done differently, Coach? My God. Wipe your drool.

Again, let it go my friend.

Edit- Barnes coached a good game imo. We had chances to take the lead late in the game but missed midrange jump shots and two three balls. We limited their three ball game, too.It stings as we were so close.

Last year was our shot when bracket opened, we had an easy bracket last year and blew it. Purdue was just a better team. They would crush any of the remaining teams not named UConn

Purdue is not better than Tn, its easy to say that when their big goof never gets called for anything.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Now we have to hear how Nate Oats is the new Eric musselman of the SEC.

 

[UTodd01]

Aidoo was God awful and that might have been the difference in the game. That and the obvious corrupt officiating.

 

[igotworms]

How do Purdue fans feel good about this?

Look at their school and lives. This is literally all they have. Easy to overlook getting handed the "win" and believe they're legit. They'll get run by uconn

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I wish ill on Zach Edey and Matt Painter. You can say I'm a bad person. I dont care. Screw em

 

[RockyTopRiot]

I didn’t line the calls by the refs either. But that isn’t why we lost

It 100% for sure is

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

If anyone says that game was lost for anything other than a completely different officiating standard for one player, I don’t know what to tell you. That was a compete disgrace.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Thank you Dalton. Best wishes in the future.

 

[YankeeVol]

I think they can beat UConn. They don't have anyone that can cover Edey either.

I don't. Outside of Edey, Purdue is NOTHING.

 

[vol4eva]

Z, Jonas, JJJ disappearing. Nowhere good enough today

 

[griffdog14]

This is why getting that 1 seed matters.

 

[igotworms]

Aidoo was God awful and that might have been the difference in the game. That and the obvious corrupt officiating.

Agree. Hard to defend aidont

 

[Putbacks]

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

We have a chance against any team because of Barnes.

 

[volplaya8]

Santi got benched basically on senior night against Uk and Jonas gets benched in favor of Estrella in biggest game of season…embarrassing

 

[Delmar]

I cannot understand why fans just can't say the truth. Zeigler had a terrible day, knecht has went cold, and the best shot Barnes had at stopping edey is fixing to play against Duke in a few minutes. You can be a fan and still say Barnes choked again and the team didn't bail him out.

Saying that Burns is the “best shot Barnes had” disqualified your post. Edey would eat the fat boy alive. And Barnes did not choke. That is ludicrous. Had a couple of starters that just didn’t play well, Vescovi sick and refs calling nothing on Purdue. Not sure what you wanted Barnes to do.

 

[Z06Vol]

Do they call a foul on the ogre?

One but that was suspect

 

[MurphyVol]

High scorer outside of DK had 9 points

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Hate to say it but Edey won’t live long at his size. He already looks unhealthy as hell

So be it, he has peaked in life with help from incompetent and corrupt officials.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

And again, good luck overseas Edey. That's all you will amount to.

 

[RockyTopRiot]

Vols blew their FF chance not getting the #1 seed in the West. Midwest Region had no upsets. West Region was full of them.

We played great. Zebras had a script to follow

 

[Dergibvol]

Edey 21 FG and 22 FT and only 1 foul. Lol

 

[allstar34bd]

Next year will be rough. We missed our shot.
