2024 NCAA Tournament: Tennessee vs. Purdue MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[krazychicagod]

Fts r why we gona lose.

Just unbelievable.

We have been talking about the ft problem brewing for 1.5 months and here we are where the 4 or 5 pts under our average we are missing is going to be the difference. I legit cant handle this

 

[BBG]

If we lose this it will be because of two things: Missing free throws and open shots.

There are other things sure, but those two have been huge IMO.

 

[saratogashaw]

Now is the time to drain a 3 boys - let’s do this

 

[Boilermaker427]

We have 8 missed FTs

Dying at the line, of all things

 

[seminolesboilers]

Missing 3s and poor 3-point shooting will do us in… FF4 will not happen in my lifetime.

 

[12375CAT]

C'mon P👍

 

[qazplm]

Smith, you had a wide open shots there. Take it!

 

[Boilermaker427]

If Zach misses the first one I might stroke out and miss the ending lol

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We need these FTs Edey!

 

[krazychicagod]

PLEASE MAKE BOTH KF THESE ****ING PLEASE

 

[PaBoiler78]

C'mon P👍

don't like this , too Edey reliant nobody else wants to shoot, and missed FT's

 

[Gesysp]

Everyone gets complacent when we go straight in to Edey with no pass out of the post. Zero aggression, no alphas right now

 

[Boilermaker427]

Smith, you had a wide open shots there. Take it!

Scared again. We lose confidence in the first half. Giving them dumb easy points killed our long runs that they couldn’t score

 

[qazplm]

Someone is making a run here. I hope it's us. We have our best offensive five out there.

Would love for Gillis to nail two big threes.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

My blood pressure must be sky high

 

[BBG]

Would love for Gillis to nail two big threes.

That would be gigantic

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

They are going to collapse on Zach now. Someone needs to hit a shot here.

 

[Boilermaker427]

I feel like no matter Edey does, Knect gets a 3 next possession. I hope it’s for a tie and not a 2pt lead

 

[tjreese]

The over reliance on Edey makes it much closer than it should. Reduces their margin for error. Disappointed in the other guys this far. But good Vols plan to let Edey get his and make other guys beat them

Zach needs to not miss at the FT line and the refs to call it. Zach ca get more aggressive on D as well

 

[Boilermaker427]

Knect misses? Foul lol

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

what foul was that????? fake as **** foul!

 

[qazplm]

Loyer on Knecht bad idea

 

[Boilermaker427]

Loyer on Knecht bad idea

Didn’t for him though

 

[Boilermaker427]

If this comes down to free throws we’re going to lose clearly

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Oh my - Dr. JONES with a house call - Boom Baby!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

yoooooooooooooooooo Jonesy!

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Wow they been calling a boxing match up until they gave Knecht the superstar treatnebt

 

[The Boiler Special]

If we can make it 8 here it would be huuuuuge!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Can the Boilers hang on?

Will the world now end?

 

[02BoilerUp]

He's been terrible today

He just won me some money tho with that 3 and assist from Braden, so definitely redeemed himself! 😆

 

[Boilermaker427]

Not happy with the layup but glad we didn’t waste a foul

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Yes Zach. Ok boys one more bucket@!!@@

 

[BBG]

Holy crap was Lance's 3 huge. JUST OVER A MINUTE TO GO!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Cmon 1:28 to history!

 

[The Boiler Special]

time to HANG ON. We have been in this spot many times this year! lets close it!

 

[PaBoiler78]

Not happy with the layup but glad we didn’t waste a foul

Zach should have blocked that

 

[IronChefBBQ]

BLOCK THAT..!

 

[BoilerDeac]

Massive shot by Jones. He was due for one of his classic late game threes.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Come on Edey, make them!

 

[Boilermaker427]

Damn
