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

[ATC_VOL]

Heck of a game. 20 minutes to make some history.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'll take this half. Anyone's game now

I would except we completely pissed away the last 5:00 of the half. That cannot happen.

 

[vol4eva]

Last 5 minutes was pathetic

 

[connor]

Need someone to slap some sense into me right now because I’m really not feeling good about this…

 

[mackievol]

Giant throwing elbows and tackling people and nothing

 

[Caz]

Outscored 15-2. Not ideal

 

[RabunRaven]

The key in the second half - we need at least 2 players besides Dalton to step up on offense.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Had lead up to 11 and then the whistles started

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I’m just sad right now. We have had a pretty remarkable half from 3, Purdue has been awful from 3, and we are down 2.

Normally I would be happy down two but the way it happened shows we are in big trouble.

 

[jim285pro]

Lol. Their coach. They didn’t stop us. We missed open shots. A lot of them. We can beat these guys.

 

[Carl Pickens]

They are treating Edy like a piece of fine china. I've seen about 3 'look' fouls. How can you end up with a POS officiating crew in the elite 8. nd somebody needs to wake up Adoo. He's playing like he's scared.

He gets this treatment every game. It’s pitiful

 

[TrippieRedd]

Smh of course. Can’t have anything nice lol

 

[RockyTopRiot]

He’s good dude

We can’t play any good defense on him or else they call a foul. No wonder he gets so many open shots inside

 

[Dergibvol]

Horrible. Two awful droughts. Same thing every year. No idea why he sat knecht when he was on fire.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

we can't win with how they're protecting Edey though. It just is what it is. DK has been ice cold since the run we had. Had James wide open in the corner over there and DK forced it.

 

[volsforever27]

He knocked Estrella back. Lord

 

[Bryan1]

Of course Knecht not gonna get the call there!

 

[Vols All Day]

The team really needs ZZ to take control of the game in the second half.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

0 fouls on Edey. Comical. The media and Vegas are delusional if they think this Purdue team would offer anything UConn.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Had lead up to 11 and then the whistles started

Nah we blew that lead on our own

 

[Kicker82]

Halftime came at a good time for the vols to regroup

 

[utvolpj]

Just speaking for myself, I'll take a 2-point game at the half.

I would have pregame but not after seeing an 11pt lead. Frustrating

 

[Frank Duncan]

Classy.

No.. tired of sitting on my hands singing kumbaya
and acting like nothings going on like some people

 

[Volatile68]

Refs won't allow Tennessee to win this game. Book it

 

[A-RodWiLks]

I’m just sad right now. We have had a pretty remarkable half from 3, Purdue has been awful from 3, and we are down 2.

That was about best possible scenario and we couldn't take advantage.
