The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #3 [1] Purdue Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, ESPN

[SlyStone]

Proud of this team, great season.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

A team with a 5 that can shoot would cause a lot of problems for Purdue... Him clogging the lane is what killed us today. UConn's big will be able to hang with him

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Edey only needs one more free throw attempt to double up Tennessee's entire team.

 

[vavolfan6]

Great coaching job by Barnes. No other team in our position gives Purdue this much of a problem.

 

[Caz]

hell of a season dk!! thank you for everything!!

Agree, not one damn thing to hang your heads on. You guys gave us tons of enjoyment all season long!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

So 2 possession game with 25 seconds left and we have to have a stop and we have Mashack guarding Edey because the bigs are on the bench. That is absolutely inexcusable

 

[Mikevol1964]

He oversold it, no doubt. Still, shouldn't have thrown an elbow though. No need to do that at all.

He’s a flopping bitadarqfsgeb

 

[Dadof2Vols]

I just got back from my Daughter's house. First post on here today. Has anyone else noticed how many time that goon did a hook and hold and no call?

I was yelling that at the TV

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Railroaded

At least we didn't lose to a lesser team this year.

 

[OrangeUTopia]

Sucks that nobody on the team stepped up on offense to help Knecht again

Sucks too that nobody could hit a mid range jumper. Pathetic shooting. Dude from Bama hit 6 straight threes down the stretch. We can’t hit one shot in five possessions late which would have given us the lead.

Even Knecht went cold late and couldn’t even hit 2s

 

[NOLAPhil]

Well, way off topic. Vols should have been a 1 seed.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I’m 54. I will never see a final 4 team. Hope you youngsters can get there.

 

[mackievol]

Last I saw, Edey was a projected 2nd round pick. NBA doesn't have much use for this type of player anymore

His NBA career will never happen

 

[jdogvol]

Disgraceful officiating.

 

[TartanTurff]

All the more reason to continue to bring down the NCAA, this charade of an objectively called game is abysmal

 

[OrangeTsar]

We knew our weakness all year. The scoring droughts. It finally caught up with us

 

[BreatheUT]

The foul discrepancy should be examined regardless if it's the end of the year.

 

[VFL1127]

This game is on Aidoo, James, and Most of all ZIEGLER.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

No way.

 

[chambers1517]

Terrible coaching by Barnes...

Not sure what else he could do. Our guys missing wide open shots and their giant that you can look at.

 

[volfan102455]

From what I have witnessed. Edey been getting this deal most of the year.

Makes him look better than he really is.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Not really. He's your best center. You give up a little on defense but you gain (at least theoretically) on offense.

When he showed that he had no interest in playing offense, Barnes correctly sat his ass on the bench.

Aidoo has offered nothing on offense or defense for 2 games now. Aidoo shouldn't have been back in the game. Period.

 

[Dudleys87]

Tennessee was never going to win the game, the refs weren't going to allow it

How on earth this is a believable statement?

Nobody for Tennessee showed up outside of Knecht. If just one shooter shows up this game ends differently.

 

[Cartervol]

Edey has shot like 13 fts I think and counting.
