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

1 point lead...defense is playing great...

 

[volfan__18]

the worst officiating game i’ve seen. This game is not even fun to watch cause it’s been free throws every possession. Fire all these refs.

 

[fear]

lmao their 6-30 and this a one point game absurd

 

[jbr82]

That's what Barnes got the T for is their players are doing the exact same thing that Vescovi did right there and it’s not being called.

Upperclassman has to be more disciplined imo

 

[Tenacjim]

“it is physical, I don’t think the officials know that”.. gold.

 

[brubaker]

Jay Bilas is so bias that's it's pathetic

 

[Willy14]

If we can’t get more from Santi and Zakai in the 2nd half, not sure how we win this game.

This is what’s killing us
Santi: 0-3
Gainey: 0-5
Zeigler: 0-3

Those 3 gotta find some offense in the second half

 

[berryvol]

Phillips is going to have to guard Edey some in the 2H with this foul trouble. Hope the young man is ready to step up.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Vescovi makes a lot of dumb decisions for a 5th yr senior.

Starting to look like the Joe Milton of our basketball team.

 

[Christian Lowe]

That was a retarded move on my part.

My apologies.

Hahahahah

 

[Vols till I fall]

Vols playing hard and very good against Purdue and the refs.

Need ZZ and Vescovi to turn it up, Knecht can't do it alone

 

[UTK]

They’ll let the big man eat in the 2nd half.
LMAO Barnes just called out the officials!!
He “knows he was right!”

Wish CJH had the balls to do that lol

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

How do we get so screwed over

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Watch the game without orange glasses, bro

Oh, I do. Plenty of trash calls. We could be called a lot too. We are very aggressive on defense

 

[TrippieRedd]

31-30

take half of those fouls away and we’re up 10+ and holding the “number 2” in the country to like 18% shooting

 

[Lukusw]

Lol. We won the first half guys. I think a few people missed that detail.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Not sure I’ve ever seen barnes this pissed about officiating hahah

You can say that again. Purely justified too.

 

[berryvol]

This is what’s killing us
Santi: 0-3
Gainey: 0-5
Zeigler: 0-3

Those 3 gotta find some offense in the second half

Yup. Add 4 makes to that (just 35ish%) and this is a totally different game at half.

 

[sportsnut624]

I never remember him directly speaking to it that way at half. He’s big mad

Yeah I just said the same thing to my wife. If anything he errs the other way most of the time. I love it haha

 

[Tenacjim]

Jay Bilas is so bias that's it's pathetic

Biased too….

 

[orbs son]

Starting to look like the Joe Milton of our basketball team.

That’s JJJ.

 

[lostsheep]

Vescovi, Ziegler, and Gaines gonna have to start giving us something for us to win this one.

 

[Frozevol]

I’m more concerned about our lack of rebounds.

 

[RAVOL]

Alright 1 point lead with our guards missing all their Jump shots. Defense has been great on ball. Big man using his weight and height to get to FT line. Overall we look like a better team but we have to make those jump shots. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This game looks exactly like a TN NCAA tournament game. Best shooters going cold and unable to hold a lead.
