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

[PA Vol]

76 combined free throws lol

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Vescovi, Gainey, ZZ a combined 5-28 shooting. That's your ballgame right there

That is exactly it! Good news is that won't happen very often!

 

[turdherder11]

Better to lose now then later

This..... They're gonna get better.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Then what are we?

Ask the refs

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Bilas needs to lay off the damn sauce and tanning bed. His skin is falling off his face.

He can’t resist getting in a dig at Tennessee’s style of play

 

[TheFlash1971]

Both these teams are the same except Purdue has a guy 7”4 .
Most SEC and Bigten schools are really good defensively, offensively not so much.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

75 fts is nuts

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Refs were terrible but had little to do with us losing.

Had some factor in it, but killed ourselves ultimately.

If they had called the 3 seconds and the trash on Edey, it’s a different game.

 

[tnvols72]

What does that say about UT ?

Tn has the same problem they had last year no scorers

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

And he out shot our entire lineup

He played well, he’s also a bitch and got a lot of help from the refs with his Lebron James style of play.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Nice job!

You must have smoked a bad one tonight

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

Man… some folks in here need to stick to whatever sport they typically follow. Basketball clearly isn’t their sport…

I guess if I was literally coming apart at the seams I may try to find something to hate too.

 

[TrippieRedd]

You must have smoked a bad one tonight

Refs did

 

[Dergibvol]

Barnes didn't help them. Didn't foul with 45 seconds. Went with Mashack.no TO when Gainey lost a shoe. Yeeks

 

[turdherder11]

JJJ got owned tonight

 

[7maxims]

Edey mauled Mashak and of course refs whistle against the orange

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Ill make this easy. Ill say I fouled out too so Edey can stay in the game.

 

[The Dog]

Purdue is not that good 2 players won this game for them and 1 had 2 points yesterday

Bet you they are a #1 or #2 seed

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

ZZ, Gainey, James, Vescovi were 6-31

 

[therealitytheory]

Omg..if our guards had just shot kinda bad...

 

[vols 30]

I'm really starting to hate this board...no matter what thread I'm in...just insufferable people everywhere

1. Cry about refs
2. Cry about announcers
3. Trash your own team

 

[zaqhhh]

They didn’t call a foul on Purdue past the 8 minute mark if I am not mistaken.

Vescovi has been awful lately. Ziegler not good as well.

Knechts first time against a big time D and it showed in this game with dribbling. But obviously a huge talent that will only get better.

But still to play like this and still be within a shot (or a call from the refs) of winning is a feat.

Tremendously proud of the team though we have massive room for improvement.

Final 4 Material

Go Vols!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Again, called overrated

Their horrible

You must think pretty lowly of the Vols then...

 

[berryvol]

We drew up a play for a 5 foot 5 guy to shoot off the bounce? Yeesh.
