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

[theroyz71]

We seem like we are playing out of control at times.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Some of yall are absolutely pathetic

Are the rest of us just plain pathetic?

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The way Purdue acts when the whistle gets blown against them is both maddening and comical.

They are a whiny bunch just like their coach

 

[GBO18]

They just grab Knecht and they don't call anything. That's a reach in foul in every game but this one.

Yep but he still needs to be stronger. They reaching in on every drive.

Rick Barnes staple great defense ZERO offense. But he will get us to the tourney every year , so I accept it. San Diego State made tournament NC game on great defense then well we know what happened after that.

He's not the one missing shots. We do have the parts, just off tonight.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Danny called him a bitch

 

[RAVOL]

Let's go Santi tie this game. Continue D and let's pull this game out. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Tenacjim]

Purdue fans and the national media can cry all they want, but most of these fouls by Purdue are fouls.

They are just mad because they got away with them in the first half and now they are being called.

Knecht cant get under control with the ball in his hand

Terrible handles

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Bad look for their president.

 

[Frozevol]

Knecht needs to be taking those 3s.

 

[The Dog]

This is a ugly game. They are playing like the bad boy Pistons.

Nothing wrong with that, imo, back to back NBA Champs

This team is much better offensively. Guys have open shots.

 

[VolArmy74]

The refs haven’t been kind at times, but there’s no denying that the majority of the fouls that have been called were indeed fouls. Been a rough game

They let Purdue get away with a lot of grabs and pushes all game. One steal on DK was clean, he's been hacked and grabbed all night otherwise. He didn't go from one of the best ball handlers in NCAA basketball to not knowing how to dribble tonight.

Also, 3 seconds apparently doesn't exist in Hawaii.

 

[turbovol]

Shooting by our guards has been comically inept. Ziggy and Gainey are 1-15. I mean, c'mon guys.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Holy sh** that’s awesome. Love our AD!

 

[TechnoVol]

Are these commercial breaks extra long for this tournament?

 

[jbr82]

Vescovi is a foul waiting to happen

Santi Foulovi

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Sigh....

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

My god make FTs

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Here’s the annoying thing. Purdue is being every bit as physical as us, if not more so, but the narrative in this game win or lose for us will be how “dirty” we are and how Purdue was getting hosed by officials all game long.

 

[ButchPlz]

Danny called him a bitch

I wouldn't trust a Chinese diversity hire named after a legume about basketball anyway.

 

[Switch 625]

Still only 2 buckets this half. SMDH

 

[tnvols72]

Vescovi needs to sit

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Wow
