Who do you guys have?
I think we are heating up right when needed to and will come out shooting better earlier on against Purdue than we did Creighton.
The announcers the entire game were warning us constantly to be careful because Creighton can get hot and got up quickly with their three point shooting but it was the Vols who did just that instead and nailed all of our final three point throws to finish it off.
Wonder how tightly will they blow the whistle against Edey. He has gotten away with way too much contact this tournament so far.
I think it doesn't matter. Vols will defend the paint much better than Purdue's other two tournament foes.
Vols by 8

Vols seem to have the worst luck against Purdue.

Vols are a more well rounded team than Purdue.
It won't be easy, but neither were Creighton and Texas. If our defense disrupts their pick n rolls timing that they feast on them we absolutely can jump up on them.

I like this viles squad. They play well together, don't get flustered. But, those boilermakers look REAL good. They will have to slow down purdue's big man, and that'll be tough to do.

Tough task, don't foul the big man. Let him get his and concentrate on everyone else.

I went back to the November game in Maui that we lost 71-67. Game was called REALLY tight. 51 total fouls and 78 free throws between the two teams.
Aidoo, Awaka and Estrella played a combined 33 minutes and were called for 13 fouls. Aidoo and Awaka both fouled out.
Zeigler was still less than 100%; so was Vescovi. Mashack was starting instead of Zeigler. ZZ was also just 2-11 shooting. Vols shot 33%, Purdue 35%.
Bottom line is this Vols team is a better team than they were then. I’m not sure Purdue has improved that much.

Vols gotta run, get ahead, speed up the tempo. Get purdue out of their 1/2 court sets.

Vols win if we shoot threes as good as we did against Creighton. We lose if we shoot outside poorly like we did against Texas though.
Purdue 's offense doesn't scare me as much as Creighton's did though just because Creighton scan score in bunches quickly when they get hot shooting threes and their best shooter had an insane accuracy ratio this year. I think we match up well with them pretty well. Should be a dog fight though.
Purdue may be the best three point shooting team in the nation on paper but they are due for an off game eventually. A good defense like purs can definitely throw their offensive timing and rythm off.

Something I wasn’t tracking, Purdue had the best 3 PT FG percentage in the nation at 41%, although they only average 8.4 a game

I'm not feeling uppity about it at all.
We have a good chance, but not quite 50-50
I'd say 45-55.
One thing's for sure, Purdue is good.
Another thing's for sure, Kentucky is not.

Kentucky would likely give Purdue a good game imo.

IMO Purdue would curb stomp them. Of course, Purdue may curb stomp us. But they way we're playing, we'd curbstomp Kentucky.

It's basketball and Kentucky has the athletes to play with anyone on a good day. So do we only we are a better coached more veteran team imo.

Last time they played, Purdue won by 4 and shot 48 free throws compared to UT 30. Purdue shot 8 more free throws and that ended up being the difference. UT largest lead in that game was 9 points till the refs took over and made sure Edey shot 17 free throws.

If they lean on that center, which they should. Were in trouble. We have our starting 5 and a true freshman that are within 5" of his height. Could be a terribly long day. Need kinecht, zeigler and james to shoot lights out

Boiler up

Vols take this game
Posted on 3/30/24 at 9:51 pm to Clark14
No game should have a combined 78 free throws, ever!
