36 hours

[Volsurance]

How much will it affect us to only get 36 hours rest before Purdue? Seems odd that we get so little time before this game.

just 4 less than Purdue and Aidoo just played 15 minutes on the short end and ZZ played all 40 on the long end. Vescovi should be well rested.

That's two sleeps, which is plenty enough

I think they better give every players lots of fluids and keep Santi quarantined in a separate wing of the hotel.

This will not be the deciding factor.

Ask Grant Williams if Barnes teams are in shape.

 

[VolGee4]

While it doesn’t matter, kind of ridiculous they go to afternoon games and give Duke the prime time slot.

One of the good reasons for playing in holiday tournaments, such as the Maui Classic (where we played Purdue this season), is to get your team accustomed to playing quality competition with a short turnaround. These players are used to this. It should be nothing to them.

I'm not sure if we can match up with Purdue, however .... but I will worry about that tomorrow. Right now, I'm gonna watch the replay of the Creighton game and drink some Crown and Coke. Life is good. Go Vols !!!!

That ship has sailed

Purdue had probably just finished their press obligations after showering by the time our game was ending, so I don’t think there is much difference. It’s not like they were laying around the hotel all day.

Purdue is a bad matchup for us unfortunately.

Yeah, any team with a massive giant that gets a ton of freebie fouls is a bad match up.
I hope the Vols can beat them and their John Candy looking coach.

Yeah, Ref's let Lurch have his way. He came down hard and crushed a Gonzaga player going for a rebound and nothing called.

We had some of that in last night's game.
True grit and determination helped the guys beat the birds and the crappy refs well.

We need to push him out of the paint the best we can get physical with him, but your right the Goliath goon seems to get all the love from the refs and get alot of freebie fouls on him.

Espresso!!!

 

[orangejuice]

If anyone thinks Vescovi will be well rested has never had the flu. I would be surprise if he plays.

They can be. But didn't we beat them at the start of the season? This isn't exactly "David and Goliath."

 

[aaronvol]

These guys aren't in their 40's like the rest of us...

Right. It depends a lot on when his fever broke.
Hopefully he can gut out a few minutes. We'll need every body they have to beat the choo choo trains.

Nope, lost by 4 I believe

 

[joshwa]

Purdue flops like fish out of water. Hope CB cues the refs to this.

Even better! I wouldn't want them seeing this as a revenge game! I think we take em!

Nope we lost

Vols can beat Purdue. Having already played this season is a huge advantage. Barnes and his truth squad are on a MISSION. Kids are sore but need fluids and whirlpool time - they will be ready.
