In Tennessee they're both called Damn Yankees.

Down 11 and reeling. The defense and physical play was stifling.
Guys were frustrated and yelling at each other, etc
I told my wife "we're in trouble. We've got to get this down to 6 by halftime".
2 minutes later it was down to 1.
That was one really good team and we came back from 11 down.
I think (ok hoping) we play loose and easy (well, Hard easy) in the next 2.

In reading post game some tidbits on the Vols:
The little pg was not recruited by anyone (St.Peters offer I think), but has had 14 assists in a game.
His families house burned down and a Go Fund Me (or similar) campaign by TN and students raised 350k and built him a new house. You may look on that as you will.
And finally, he tore his ACL almost 13 months ago to the day.
That did not look like a kid 1 year after the knife. Damnnnnnnnnnn

And I'm not just saying that because I picked you guys to win the whole thing. I've been here a handful of times over the years complimenting Coach Painter, your program and the way you play. I truly admire all of it. I'm so glad good people and good basketball get rewarded. I love how you guys just get guys and go win. No fanfare. No headlines. Just wins. This IU diehard is truly happy for you all and is glad not only that your way of doing things is rewarded but that you as a fanbase get to experience the pure joy and pride of this run. You deserve it. Drink it up and continued good wishes.

can’t believe I’m asking this still…. (Someone wake me up)

NC state or Duke?

...is no longer the best coach in college basketball to never reach the Final Four.

Been a lot of people on this board who've doubted him over the years, but he has built just an incredible team and his development of players like Edey and Braden is absolutely incredible.

Anyone know the best place to spy on the other fanbase?

I hope someone is in West Lafayette building that statue as we speak... This man single handedly pulled Purdue into the final 4... 40 points... Absolutely can't say enough how much he has mean't to this program... Wow...

got some Founder's All Day IPA

Time to see if Purdue can move past the Sweet 16.

From coach Walters no less

IL shot 25% from the field and 26% from 3 vs UConn yesterday. Those are horrible, 'cant hit the ocean from the beach' numbers. If you are playing the odds, there is no way we shoot that bad. I would find it amazing if you go back in elite 8 history, that two teams in 2 days shot in the mid 20's percentagewise.

The other play on words is DEAD......forever!

Done! Gone! Finished........BURIED!

Congratulations to the players (and their families), the coaches, the administration, the employees of the university and, of course, us fans.

Paint does business the right way and I honestly believe this is the start of a completely different future for him and this program. That sound you just heard is the door getting kicked in........and it's not going back up.

Boiler proud, forever!

was alive to see this FF. RIP, Larry.

…I’m not crying, you are…

Obviously we’re dealing with a much quicker turnaround for Tennessee but yall had a lot of good questions for Gonzaga.

What do you want to know about Tennessee?

Will be hearing from Tennessee around three, followed by Purdue after. I’ll have up a game preview after.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Purdue is going to the Final Four.

Can Purdue finally break through today? We will see.

Two more to go!😎👍😎

👍

This is to put together an all time team to compete right now at the NBA level if they were in their prime. My top 5 won’t have tons of old timers because the game has evolved along with the size/skills of players. This isn’t the best college players at Purdue list. That would include Mount for sure. This is your best pro lineup.

PG: Jaden Ivey. Carson Edwards close second
SG: Etwaun Moore
SF: Glenn Robinson
PF: Carl Landry
C: Brad Miller

Center is the toughest position to fill in because of JBC, Cross, Edey.

And, have they seen Edey? I expect the whistle to be a big part of today's game. If they're not calling the hacks it will work against us.
