He is what college athletics should be about. He's a guy with virtually no offers out of HS who made himself into the model student-athlete.

I'm sure he's disappointed that they bowed out last night. But I would say he is proud to be a Vol today. Wish there were more like him.

some times being smart is more important than Talent--you have the ball no shot clock, but you score and leave 8.8 secs on the clock--just stupid. then you foul the 3 pointer with 2.5 seconds---you need to lose.

Why so much hate for this guy?

I enjoy watching him play. Tough player.

UT definitely went early, but Turner saw an opening and took it. They certainly didn't get any breaks on the last possession. Got the block, looked like the ball went off Edwards foot only to have to not have it overturned. Then the shot. Turner said after the game that Edwards had been kicking his leg out all night and he had pointed it out to the referee. He had to contest the shot, but it was unfortunate that he made contact. The most surprising thing about that sequence to me was that Purdue elected to have Cline in-bound. That dude was unconscious.

At the end of the day, that was a great basketball game. Especially the last five minutes or so. Guys making play after play. If you didn't enjoy that, subscribe to Netflex.

The ball off the foot call was correct.

The second angle clearly showed it missed his leg by quite a bit.

17 him and Grant Williams. Why??? Cause they always kicked our ***

It was a great game. I thought they may have had Cline take the ball out to maybe get a return pass, but UT guarded the inbound play very well and they ended up having to force a shot. Cline almost got a five second call trying to inbound it.

The foul was a bailout call. Not necessarily the wrong call, but a call that's rarely made under those circumstances.

I wasn't a fan of Grant Williams so much. But it's hard not to like Schofield.

I don't know if the guy stuck his leg out to draw a foul or not. I wasn't watching it that closely. But I do know that all of the flopping and faking contact to get a call is hard to watch.

Basketball is more fun when guys are making shots. And Purdue and UT didn't disappoint down the stretch.

And I would agree on Cline except I'm not sure there was enough time left to spot him up. But assuming there was and assuming they were able to get him the ball, there is no doubt he would have drained it for the win. That dude was feeling it. And when a player gets in that zone, there is nothing better in sports to witness, IMHO.

The foul they called on Cline to foul him out was unbelievably bad. The UT player stopped in front of him to create contact, and then flopped.

That's one of the things I didn't like much about Tennessee....they do a lot of sneaky stuff like that.

Montez Sweat on the court!

17 Schofield & Grant Williams and Dale Ellis, and may as well add that Ernie & Bernie can 17 themselves.

 

[tatedog]

And while we're at it Dave Ramsey and Bill Dance can 17 themselves too!

It looked to me like they planned to run their PG to the wing, setting up a pass back to Cline in the corner. They were running a guy down toward Cline's man to set a pick. UT did a good job covering the PG to the wing, so he came down to the corner for the ball and Cline forced it in there.

That kid probably made himself a ton of money last night. He was clutch all night.

And Heath Shuler.
