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

[VolunteerVandiver]

A game of runs.

Need to stop the bleeding and hopefully take a lead into the half.

Get back to going deeper in the shot clock and moving the ball.

 

[vavolfan6]

We need more offense from our bigs...2 points between them is not good enough.

 

[sportsnut624]

Purdue went on that run by driving at knecht. Going to have to adjust to hide him a little differently on defense

 

[BreatheUT]

You just knew we were going to give it right back. We always do.

We can't keep Estrella out there for long stretches. A couple of possessions yes.

 

[rockytop36]

I almost wish we would send a big and actually foul Edey HARD

 

[Vols All Day]

Knecht has to score cause his man is shooting layups.

He is letting the same sorry*** dude get going. Pitiful effort by DK on both of Loyer’s scores.

 

[Bryan1]

Edey trips over is own feet and they call a foul on Awaka?

 

[Volbrando]

It's one of my biggest gripes about this team, we don't capitalize on leads, we get up and then a switch hits and we start to go cold and play sloppy.

Inconsistent.

 

[berryvol]

Just take Edey’s legs out. Sick of him at this point. He’s young and will heal.

 

[vols 30]

7 team fouls against Tennessee...ridiculous.

Purdue has 6.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

It's unbelievable the foul calls against Edey and lack thereof on Edey. People complained all the time about Jordan having preferential treatment. No where close to this.

But...we have to keep making shots. And quit taking bad ones.

 

[vol94]

Anyone notice Mashack wearing a back brace when Purdue called timeout? He hasn’t been in the game for over four minutes.

Edit- he came back in and then picked up a stupid foul. My gosh. Don’t foul in backcourt stupid. 10-0 run Purdue

 

[tnvols72]

It all started when ZZ took that dumb 3 for no reason

 

[ndubvols]

guards need to do a better job of stopping penetration, posts can’t help off eady

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We do this almost every game. Get a double digit lead and then let the other team go on a 10-0 run. So frustrating

 

[jim285pro]

Either way. We’re shooting the ball and it’s not that team we all feared would show up. This team can beat anyone.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

We’ve given up layups with two seconds on the shot clock twice. Santi is also missing his switches and switching back. Gotta go with the best chemistry lineups. Need these last three minutes to be solid.

 

[Dergibvol]

I’m not sure we can expect to go 7/11 from 3 in the 2nd half so if we don’t get anything in the post from Aidoo or Awaka we will be in trouble.

Aidoo has been in garbage lately. He's missed 3 easy buckets today. Had an awful TO and then set a perfect screen against his own player for a Purdue 3

 

[ndubvols]

Also, need zz to get going. Not his best game so far

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

We need more offense from our bigs...2 points between them is not good enough.

If they can just harass Edey effectively, that's enough. Hope Aidoo doesn't take another shot this tourney, unless it's a dunk

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Edey needs a knee to the gonads

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Aidoo smh

 

[mackievol]

We got a lead just keep the pedal

 

[Score50]

Aidoo back. Hope he brought a shooting touch.

 

[vol94]

Purdue has 6.

I don’t understand why Vol fans complain so much about officiating. Let it go.
