Purdue vs Tenn game day thread

[pisgah101]

Since I would feel stupid naming a thread “elite eight day two” with just one game outside of our own we’ll just roll with this-

Purdue is dang good and playing well.. they played back in November and Purdue won by 4. I think this one will be the close game of the day. I want Tennessee to win regardless of our outcome (would love a flip revenge game on them) both teams have coaches that tend to chock so it could be a real interesting game

Tenn-77
Purdue-74

Agree with your prediction pisgah. Feel like Tennessee gets their revenge on Purdue.

 

[The Only Blue]

It'll depend on how much the refs will allow Tennessee to muck it up. Edey should be able to draw a bunch of fouls with Tennessee's aggressive defense but who knows? Houston only "fouled" us 4 times in the second half so

I have Perdue in my bracket but think Tennessee can pull it off.

I have a Perdue in the oven. Will be ready for brunch.

I think we match up better with Tennessee, that said if we don’t make it to the final four or natty I’d rather have a team that can actually beat UConn there, and Tennessee isn’t it. On top of that, lots of respect for Purdue and wouldn’t mind seeing them win it all anyway, so I hope they smack UT around.

And also, screw UT.

Duke Tennessee part 2. We will have our vengeance, in this life or the next.

Dramatic.. I like it haha

 

[Neue Regel]

Pulling for Purdue.

I don't want Rick Barnes to see another final four. Just like Sampson, the dude is a scumbag. I like Matt Painter, and his kids play a tough but clean game. But I fear Tennessee will get them today.

It's from Gladaitor.

Are you entertained?!

 

[christophero]

Only if we win. I guess anything could happen today, as the teams know each other well.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I expect a tough game today. State seems to have that magical horseshoe up their ***.

Edey is more than a handful, and I think they win if his supporting cast shows up.

 

[The Only Blue]

So far it looks like the refs aren't allowing Tennessee to muck it up

 

[bleudevils2015]

Edey looks scared. He’s gotta lower the shoulder and just take it strong.

 

[The Only Blue]

Knecht is red hot and Purdue can't make any outside shots. Tennessee doing a good job denying the ball to Edey and pushing him out the paint.

 

[bleudevils2015]

Good response out of the timeout.

I like where Chris’ head is at this afternoon

 

[The Only Blue]

Pretty fast pace and Edey barely had a break. Wonder if he'll wear down in the second half

 

[denverexpat]

Edey is very tolerant...being mugged every game has to get old...yet he still doesnt get angry it seems..

 

[sheyduke]

It don’t matter who wins . I think ( please don’t laugh) Duke is the only team remaining that can score with UCONN and even I don’t think we could win . It would take every players best game . UCONN is just too complete of a team .

 

[christophero]

I think we have a better shot at beating the Vols than Purdue. So I am hoping the Vols win, and then we win. If we lose to U Conn in the title game that would be a great season. Obviously winning it all is better.
Edit: looks like Purdue is going to win.

 

[The Only Blue]

Congrats Purdue. Not enough offense to help knecht.

Dude gets away with a ton. He fouls constantly and is never in foul trouble.

 

[christophero]

You actually see this a lot. A team gets bounced early in a humiliating fashion and then makes a run the next year. It depends on how you respond. Respect to Purdue. It's rare for a 1 seed to get everyone back, if not for last year's collapse they would be the favorites.

 

[The Only Blue]

I liked Edey until I heard this. Can't call out another coach by his name. I don't like Barnes either but what's wrong is wrong
