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

[zeppelin128]

How many steps does lurch get?

Yes

 

[GroverCleveland]

The way the fouls are being called for Edey, might consider getting one's money worth with a knee to the tender area when he's pulling the shoving crap.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Ridiculous officiating. Eady with ZERO fouls and every time he takes his position in front of the hoop he fouls, grabs, arm checks, and mugs our guys. THE number one reason I turn the games off is crappy and one sided biased officiating. Cmon Vols! Make shots and win this game despite the refs and horrible bad calls.

 

[mackievol]

Vescovi needs to be benched unless guys foul out. He’s a liability

His run has been over for a few months now. Thank you for the service, go sit on the bus

 

[wmcovol]

The biggest indictment so far is that we are shooting 53% from 3 and Purdue shooting 12% and we are losing. Hope the guys can pick themselves up. Feels like there is nothing they can do playing against Edey.

Foul shot disparity makes up the difference

 

[KTrain]

Edeys elbowing pushing bumping all good he has zero fouls our players do the same crap and it’s a foul. It’s crazy he’s taller than everyone and it’s like they feel sorry for him and give him green light.

 

[VolCalls]

Because there is…. It’s 4 hours away from Purdue’s campus.

Announcer said it’s 75% Purdue fans. Close to Detroit and they’re a basketball school. Not a surprise.

 

[BreatheUT]

Edey with 0 fouls is absurd

The guy keep pushing our rebounders under the rim.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I don’t trust any sport matchup these days. Sports are compromised due to the glorification of gambling.

bingoooooooooo

 

[DaddyChad]

Edey with 0 fouls is absurd

Dude can literally do whatever he wants. Elbow, walk, step out or bounds

 

[VolGirl81]

Would help if ZZ could get one to fall in. Need JJ to start shooting.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Just let DK shoot every time

 

[Frank Duncan]

Why does it seem like there are more Purdue fans than Tennessee fans at the game ?

Because it's only 2 hr 31 min (162.5 mi) away

 

[DC_Vol]

How many steps does lurch get?

As many as he wants.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Very few do!

Not when the refs give him special treatment

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If DK doesn’t score 45 can we win? Someone else, please step up….

 

[johngunn44]

i’m losing my mind watchin how long Edey is in lane. it’s outrageous how the refs ignore it. CALL THREE SECONDS!!! there is a reason for this rule. Call it!!!

 

[vol94]

I’m out everyone. I’m too riled up. I always say NOT to blame officiating. And I will continue to say that in the future as players must play through it.


BUT, I’m over Edey getting the whistle. He leans into the players as will. No foul. That woman with me. But don’t call a foul on Awaka for putting his hand on Edey’s jersey. And call Walking off the rebound just now.

Anyway, I’m going to watch the game w my son who is town from UT, daughter (MS state) and wife. I’m just too frustrated at the play of Aidoo and how the game going.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I said last night the refs will not let Purdue lose.

 

[Frank Duncan]

4 hrs away

2 1/2

 

[just bob]

Without Edey getting every single call including the phantom ones and getting away with murder underneath this Purdue team is a .500 team.

 

[RockyTop140]

I didn't know it was a basketball rule that the defense has to give up his space to the offense or its a foul.

If you lay a finger on the 7’4 300 pound free throw merchant, you will get called. It’s ridiculous. But he’s allowed to clear you out with his offhand, and ram his shoulder into your jaw.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Ways a timeout when Vols have to shoot FTs

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Zeigler is so bad today

 

[Delmar]

Edey can push around on us all day with no call. Our bigs are gonna foul out today, but I don’t know what else they can do against Edey.

Nothing else they can do. If you aren’t physical with him, you have no shot whatsoever
