Number 2 for FDU.

Put Mashack on him

 

[JCP201]

Rather not play FDU at Madison Square Garden. Z has some fans/friends I'm sure, but..

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Gotta be dialed in on D and slow down the game

 

[Tenacjim]

I'm sort of astonished at how skinny their arms are compared to our guys.

Tennessee's strength and conditioning really is world class.

I was thinking the same thing about Dook.

 

[Tenacjim]

Only if he doesn’t foul out first. You can bet your bottom dollar the refs will be watching him like a hawk just waiting to blow the whistle on him from the second he enters the game, whether that be as a starter or off the bench. I expect an exceedingly tight whistle in our next game, regardless of the opponent, with the media screaming about how we were allowed to play football against Duke.

Uros will get a foul shaking hands before the game….

You all need to stop being afraid of FDU. Sheeeesh. FAU is a Top 20 team!!!! FDU IS 274TH!!!!! FDU will not be able to handle our physicality. Stop being scared, we want FDU to win.

 

[Willy14]

No they don’t, they play 4 guys at a time under 6’4”

Well what would be the game plan against FDU? Same plan I guess?

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

This FDU-FAU game has been great.

 

[ndubvols]

If we get FDU, wouldn’t be surprised to go 5 small some. Think we may have done it a bit against mizzou.

Vescovi, mashack, Key, JJJ Phillips. Would still have a lot more length and would be able to matchup better defensively

I’d MUCH rather play FDU!

good point by the ncaa crew. Madison sq garden 25 minutes from FDU campus. Our own negative voodoo at the venue aside, thats not great.

 

[Namorto1]

Horrible coaching from Purdue not to take advantage of being the tallest team

FDU surrounded Edey with 3 guys and dared other Purdue perimeter players to make shots. They were wide open and either were afraid to shoot or couldn’t make them.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s insane. People in here really scared of the 274th team in KenPom and the shortest team in the nation.

 

[CAVPUT]

FDU Is one of the fastest teams I’ve ever seen, but they do play out of control at times and miss easy shots.

Speed and full court pressure. We're without ZZ so I have to wonder how we'll handle that. Will be interesting to watch it play out if we do, indeed, get FDU. And it will be almost a home game for FDU. Nope. Don't like this at all.

Best game , well except for TN/Duke of course

 

[barney]

They're fast but I don't think they'll do much against us once they get to the basket. Let Aidoo feast on their floaters.

Plavi will draw at least a double team.

 

[Dudleys87]

For some of you it’s like FDU already ran Tennessee out of the gym…

Neither can handle our physical play.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

You are forgetting about MSU and KSU. Their fans will be cheering for whoever we are playing. We are going to be out numbered no matter who we play.

Good grief.

 

[NighthawkVol]

If FDU makes the Swt 16, the whole country (outside of East TN) + most of MSG will be behind them. I’m not sure we want a page in that script. Prolly better off drawing the Owls.

Jesus will some of you East Tennesseans stop acting like UT is East Tennessee’s team? It’s the University of Tennessee. All of it.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Does FDU have some huge fanbase that I'm not aware of?

I don't think we would have to worry about them flooding MSG.

 

[NighthawkVol]

FDU is starting to remind me of some of Pearl's teams. Full court pressure and jacking up three balls at a ridiculous pace. They start to hit 'em and they can run you off the floor.

And those teams’ kryptonite was really big teams.
