Week of 11/20 Other Games

[bluestreak]

Sure doesn't look like a 2 v 7 kind of game.

 

[superjohn]

Both of these teams are overrated every year.

 

[KingAG]

Texas and UConn looked better than both of these teams yesterday. And neither were at full strength

 

[Scot-e]

This game is like watching paint dry.

 

[HCCForever]

This game is painful to watch. Both look really sloppy.

And late in the first half, Purdue had only 2 scorers. Edey + 1.

 

[REB1094]

Real physical game. Lots of flopping and crying for calls

 

[HuskyHawk]

Smith looks like a pesky, crafty guard. Really seems to have a feel for the game. Hard for anybody to look good on offense with this festival of fouls.

 

[Ricker]

I'm keeping my eye on 6'11 JP Estrella for TN who is not an impact player at the moment. I have no idea if there is a remote chance he enters the portal in a future year, but there is some UConn connections. He is from Maine, and was Solo Ball's roommate at Brewster. His mom, (that I've met), was on a women's BC team that beat the UConn women once back in the day. She is great friends with Shea Ralph and follows UConn women closely. Wouldn't be a stretch to become involved if the opportunity ever arose.

 

[superjohn]

Both these teams play like Big 10 teams, that's not a good thing.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

This is just absolutely HORRIBLE basketball on display.

 

[REB1094]

This game is a foul fest. Really not fun to watch at all tbh

 

[aceboon]

#2 vs #7 used to look a whole lot different than this when I was growing up

 

[Ricker]

only 3 bench points for Purdue, all from FT. NO baskets Can't win championships like that.

 

[bluestreak]

This is just absolutely HORRIBLE basketball on display.

With Officiating to match.

 

[gtcam]

Zebras doing their best to have Purdue move on

 

[uconngb]

With Officiating to match.

FUGLY

 

[Rocktheworld]

It’s a disgrace that one of these teams will be playing for the championship tomorrow. Neither team can play without fouling and this is simply hideous basketball. Neither team deserve a chance to be the champs.

Should just call this the 3rd/4th place game and make Marquette/Kansas the championship game

 

[caw]

Tennessee makes every game ugly and Purdue isn’t the prettiest team to start.

Don’t know why Tennessee isn’t attacking the rim right now.

Poor coaching by Barnes the last five minutes.

 

[auror]

Horrible shot for Tennessee. How do you take an off the dribble pull up 3 like 5 seconds into the shot clock with a minute left down 4... especially when you're not the best player or shooter on your team.

 

[superjohn]

Tennessee's offense, brick every three and hope for an offensive rebound. Tennessee's defense, foul every time.

These teams will rack up a ton of wins again, especially Purdue and then flame out again In the tournament.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

These teams are physical. Ugly yes, but they’ll be a tough out.

 

[auror]

Unlike others, I don't think Purdue is overrated. They are pretty inevitable. It's basically impossible to stop Edey over a full game. They should have won this game by 10+, but they missed 19 FTs.

 

[REB1094]

Tennessee didn’t shoot a 2 pointer in the last 4 and a half minutes. They shot 3/10 from three in that stretch while Purdue got layups and fouls

Horrible execution down the stretch. They got lucky to lose by so little because Purdue missed a lot of free throws

Tennessee 21-30 from the line. Purdue 29-48. 2 and a half hour game. Bad look for both teams tbh

 

[BigTenFan]

That was one ugly game. Not sure either team deserved that one....

 

[Jimdish255]

What a game - Ugh that was painful. Have to have some kind of plan for Edey but Purdue are far from invincible. Glad they won and get a shot at one of 2 teams we'll be playing.

 

[Blue Idiaco]

Poor coaching by Barnes....rinse, lather, repeat. His teams are always disappointing decision makers

 

[uconngb]

With Officiating to match.

They will go down early in March. Book it

 

[Brochacho]

Purdue is the only team I don’t want to play in the NCAAs.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Purdue is the only team I don’t want to play in the NCAAs.

Why?

 

[HU5KIES]

Purdue is the only team I don’t want to play in the NCAAs.

Yea, we're no Fairleigh Dickinson
