The Official #7 Tennessee vs. #2 Purdue Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Blake25p]

Forearm to the face, no call.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

refs are going to keep on until this game gets out of hand and they are the blame

Already there, in my opinion.

 

[casetopia]

Of course no foul called.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Elbow to the eye… man, they are letting Purdue be extremely handsy and rough, meanwhile guys in orange better not sneeze too loud

 

[Cdywolfe]

They elbow our guy in the face and then complain play stops. What a joke this game is becoming

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We need someone other than Knecht to step up. Mashack is playing well, too. But that is basically it right now.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

And the big orange scoring drought is alive and well

 

[therealitytheory]

Review?

 

[TrippieRedd]

**** Purdue

 

[vavolfan6]

Braden Smith crying becuase he needs a player advantage to do anything this game. Mashack and ZZ have him on lockdown.

 

[TennTom]

Painter on the court and of course no technical foul.

 

[jaybird_1981]

They blew it dead because they pulled the ball out. That is what they are supposed to do.

 

[Vol since 77]

We’re about to get run

 

[TheBigOne10]

Purdue with TWENTY FT’s already to our 6. What a boring ass team.

 

[turdherder11]

****in battle

 

[MoCo_Vol]

12 of their 26 at the line, they’ve already shot 20 FTs.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

SV is becoming the forgotten player

 

[Voltopia]

Remember last year when Tennessee played Duke real physical and then Bilas and all his ilk bleated for a week about how awful and ugly it was for basketball? Purdue's out here dishing it just as rough and big baby B doesn't even skip a beat.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I'll say this: my dislike for Purdue has not decreased in the past 45 minutes.

 

[FlVols]

These refs are screwing us. Bend over boys!

 

[Lurker]

This is a big boy game and the Vols are giving as good as they’re receiving. Great match up.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

The last thing Purdue should be doing is fussing about the refs. They’ve been granted 20 free throw attempts this half. Painter and company should be thanking their lucky stars that the officials have been kissing the ground Edey walks on.

 

[Jack Burton]

Refs better get this one under control.

 

[ButchPlz]

I'm so tired of officials that can't even do the basic **** right.

 

[Frozevol]

We need someone other than Knecht to step up. Mashack is playing well, too. But that is basically it right now.

One of these days Vescovi is going to rediscover his shot. It’d be nice if it would be today.
