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

[Clad in Big Orange]

Give painter’s bum ass a tech too

He’s like Will Wade. Highly punchable face.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

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

Gainey needs to stop taking ****** shots as well. Can't wait for Vescothree to return to form

 

[VolArmy74]

Aren't they allowed to review shots to the face/head?

 

[turdherder11]

Need JJJ, Gainey, SV, and ZZ to do something. JA, Mashack, DK are the only ones contributing

 

[RAVOL]

Our guards are killing us with the misses

The only reason it's a tight game and offcials letting big man to push off for rebounds. In CHRIST Alone

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

My blood pressure is through the roof.

Edey is going to get his points and boards period. We have to keep the other 4 guys on the floor contained. I didn’t get to watch Purdue yesterday, but we have the depth and talent to beat anybody.

Hopefully Barnes’s technical will be worth it. Edey was blocking out with his chicken wings and getting every board because of it.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

And the big orange scoring drought is alive and well

We are still weathering it with the lead and the one sided free throws.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Commercial break…game getting really ugly. Good to see coach Barnes in the game. Awful officiating. We are gonna have double their fouls. 27-26 3:44

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Our guys aren’t scared of Edey. That’s for sure.

I know we are all paying a lot of attention to the officials, but I would to second this and point out that our guys look soooo much better early this season. Knecht might be the best addition off transfer this season, any team.

 

[whodeycin85]

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

Need tonlpck down the other white guy...he is killing us

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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.

He’s been saying we’re the ones too physical.

 

[Putbacks]

7 seconds on the inbounds

 

[VolArmy74]

I'd just like to see 3 seconds called. Eddy literally stays in the lane 10+ seconds.

 

[TrippieRedd]

ESPN: if you make free throws you win


WHAT?!? And nothing about our players getting raped??

 

[87&91ALUM]

So many Purdue fouls with no calls

 

[Voltopia]

He’s been saying we’re the ones too physical.

Oh I know, that just makes it even more annoying as hell.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Thanks Jay Williams for letting us know that Purdue is just playing bad and only down 1 point.
Nothing to do with Tennessee

 

[Specs]

The northeast media stuff is really irritating when it comes to basketball

 

[Lurker]

Bilas isn’t out of line. Unless he slobs on the Vols you guys have to whine. He’s a solid annoncer.

 

[tnvols72]

they could have called several things on Purdue on that trip

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I'd just like to see 3 seconds called. Eddy literally stays in the lane 10+ seconds.

Counted out two different possessions at 8 seconds. So not an exaggeration at all.

 

[VolFanGBO]

vescovi has been trash

 

[volsarelife1]

Vescovi has been pretty awful as well

 

[Dergibvol]

Vescovi is awful right now
