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

[bluevols27]

Gainey has been extremely timely in his made shots in this tournament.

 

[CornbreadVol]

WERE RIGHT THERE

 

[DarkVolder]

I don't see how we have any chance of winning with both our post players in deep foul trouble while their star post has, what, ZERO fouls? I'm sad we always go cold shooting at the worst times. Purdue is not a way better team than Tennessee. No way.

They are pretty damn good.

 

[vavolfan6]

Ok, now we just need the refs to try an even up the foul count and free throw disparity.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

JUST IN: The refs reviewed the Ogre foul and reversed it during the break. Purdue awarded 10 points.

I laughed

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Barnes, whatever you have left in the tank for speeches - now is the time to deliver!

 

[TrippieRedd]

Purdue just isn’t very dynamic. That’s what is keeping us around.

Their guards will wilt.

Purdue would be 10-20 if Edey wasn't on the team

 

[Volbrando]

They call a foul on lurch and the game turns. lol

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Our boys are playing with all heart and against two different opponents in this game. So proud of them

 

[MrBiggles]

Do they call 3 seconds in college basketball? Edy has been standing in the lane for at least 5 seconds each possession. And they finally called him for a foul.

 

[FlVols]

Do not let up. Keep it quick and we win!

 

[deezvols]

Purdue just isn’t very dynamic. That’s what is keeping us around.

Throw it to Edey, he either scores, draws a foul or dishes it out for a 3….. summed up their entire identity

 

[TeddyYeti]

Let's go Vols!

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

You fruitbats want to give up and whine about refs and timeouts. Enjoy. Our guy aren’t quitting.

 

[chuckb1448]

Finally, putting some ball pressure on their guards and we’re getting TOs. Amazing.

I did mention our D has been weak, having to defend a clumsy Lurch doesn't help though

 

[VFL1127]

Estrella is playing better than Aidoo so far

 

[berryvol]

I have no idea how we are in this game. Please find a way to get this one guys, PLEASE.

 

[ButchPlz]

Do not let up. Keep it quick and we win!

I'm worried they're tired but if we play with speed we can do it.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

One point game!

 

[vavolfan6]

DK needs to take note of Gaineys pump fake. Purdue flys out every time.

 

[Delmar]

Still got some life! Hang in there fellas.

 

[rocketskates]

Purdue would be 10-20 if Edey wasn't on the team

Purdue would’ve been out in the round of 32 if it wasn’t for that big goon. They will be an average team next year when some of this talent leaves.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Just when I was coming to terms with losing, they pull me back Do I watch or go help my kids find eggs?

If we went on a run when you stopped watching please don’t come back

 

[LucidZ]

Stay with it fellas.

Dude, refs have been absurd
