The Official #2 Tennessee vs. #3 Purdue NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, TBS

No. It. Was. Not.

If that's a foul, EVERY ** SHOOTER gets fouled almost every ** trip.

I gotta say that it was techically a foul. Granted, a foul that's usually called 50% of the time, and even less at that juncture of the game. If I had it my way, that foul is called every time.

Fine; do it every trip except the last second to clinch the win.

Tough loss. Team was too tight in the first half. Although I enjoyed the season immensely, this team had limitations, especially defensively. Hopefully we can recruit better and add some depth.

 

[sccshortstop]

I didn't think it touched our guy, but the angle was terrible to be decisive about it either way from our perspective.

Yep it went off his foot and they had to see it with the monitor. If I was Barnes that tape would be sent to the SEC office.

 

[volgrad500]

They aren't our best team

Hard to argue I guess. Didn't win a thing that mattered. I guess you are right. So effing disappointed.

 

[orange_glory]

If we would have played for 40 minutes. Hit a few more FTs. Those "bad" calls wouldn't have mattered. Don't give the Zebras a chance to take a win away.

I'm not going to debate on here anything regarding refs.

The story of the game, for me (which happens in one and done tournaments), is that Purdue had a kid that was absolutely unconscious in a way that would make Steph Curry jealous and both teams were laying bricks at the free throw line. All the talk of the refs....if that Purdue kid were human at any point in the game, none of that would have mattered.

Troll

That's my fear. It also seems like there's something broken in how this team approaches meaningful games. Both championship games and this they looked totally unprepared mentally.

They were nervous tonight in the first half. On radio, Bob asked Bert about him playing in 5 NCAAT games, and they both said there are always butterflies to start these games. We relied on some jump shots and didn’t hit them.

Second half they just played down so much.

Where . In . That. Video. Do. You. See. Contact. Worthy. To . Change. The. Course. Of. The. Game.

Not liking the foul doesn't make it not a foul. Don't commit the foul the last second of the game and punch your ticket to the E8.

50%? Try about 15%. That is never called.

What angle did you see? The angle you are probably talking about "looks" like he does simply because from our vantage point his leg brushes past the ball. Piece the tapes together and it seems more logical to think the ball wasn't near Edwards left leg, but away from it.

Call the game consistent if you're going to chooe at that moment to suddenly start calling that a foul.

That foul call at the end of regulation was bogus. But if we hit ft then it doesn't matter. Way too many free points left on the line.

 

[VolGee4]

Great design with 3 seconds not 1.7. I'd take a not decent look over no look.

The time should have been 0.6. Pretty clear to see. Zebras just decided to ignore it.

With 3 seconds, Bone can get to the basket.

 

[Trent4Pruitt4life]

It will be interesting to see what happens. It's hard to imagine replacing Kyle and Admiral, but no doubt we still have some talent. If we can get a grad transfer with some serious size, maybe we can get back to the S16 and beyond (all assuming Grant stays [I still THINK he will] ).

Good riddance to all of them. If they can't win when it matters we don't need them

 

[NCFisher]

Then you need to get your eyes checked. I mean you are seriously blind if that's "slamming".

Enough to cause his right foot to place 2-3 feet off where he would have landed. The Purdue coach saw it right away.

Not calling Edwards with his off arm all night was typical too. He cleared out Turner on one of his drives.

 

[JCP201]

 

[Frozevol]

Bone is coming back and if Grant does not he will regret it. You see how he was so limited tonight inside. Those NBA guys will chew him up and spit him out. Stay and shoot 500 3s a day until next year at this time and have a fighting chance.[/
Unless their agents/parents tell them otherwise (and that rarely happens) both should go and I think they both will.

When the sun comes up over the mountain it's not actually touching the mountain. When you look from the other side you can see how much space is between them

Most telling part imo was no UT player arguing at all. None

 

[NCFisher]

Okay, but you arguing with the refs for calling it, not that it wasn't a foul.

Purdue coach was claiming we weee fouling every time down and complained in his half time interview. I guess he’s always correct.

Wow...shameful! Those guys helped when plenty of games when it mattered and did a lot to bring this program back to relevancy when it was dead in the water! Shame on you! Grow up!

I enjoy my amphetamines as much as you, but that is uncalled for.
