Purdue vs. Tennessee overview

could be or he really means this, " It’s still about us doing what we do and getting better at it,” Barnes said.", but that would be foolish. Somewhere in some post I posted they were smaller than Nag has listed...it must have been their newcomers. Their guards are big..and I think Historically Barnes has had big teams. It seems like Purdue (Keady ) beat them when they were a lot better than Purdue on paper...but maybe I'm thinking of someone else. I think it was Terrance Crump days?????
The one guard hasn't been to the line...must be a cline his first two years. Another article talked about a man press, but it appears to be a 1-2-2 and unless their big guards are REALLY quick...I suspect it is a zone press...
That guy's (or gal's) report on Purdue was awesomely detailed. People should pay for that kind of scouting report.
I think the last time we played them was for the title in Puerto Rico. Bruce Pearl was the coach.
Yes, G & B.....73-72 in 2009; both teams were ranked top-ten, and E'Twaun Moore ended up as tournament MVP.
It was St Thomas. I was there. Paradise Jam. Kramer demonstrated his "swim" defensive move.
Thanks for the clarification, Schnelk. I think maybe it was '11/12 when Purdue played in Puerto Rico. Last year, it was Mexico.
yeah...I was talking Texas and Barnes and it must not have been clear...sorry..
Keady's '99 team (10-seed) beat Texas under Barnes (first year with Texas) in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Purdue went on to beat the 2-seed to advance to the Regional before falling to Temple. Keady's 2003 team (9-seed) lost to the 1-seed Texas under Barnes. Texas went on to the Final Four, led by TJ Ford.
The only other meeting I know of was the infamous Hoosier Dome NCAA tournament game in '90 when Tom Penders coached Texas. Unfortunately, I witnessed that one en persona.
unfortunately I was there as well! Thanks. The temple team must have been the one with the two bigs...one a WIDE body that had his way. Seems like they had a guard that could stroke it as well. Now I see it was Tony Mayfield that I was thinking of for the Purdue guard against TExas with Barnes
Was thinking the same thing. The overall discussion on the board was pretty respectful. Like that fanbase.
Temple had a senior Mark Macon, a point guard named Vic Carstarphen, a tall small forward named Mik Kilgore that lit up the Boilers...nevermind, I'm thinking of '91. '99 was Pepe Sanchez as Temple's PG, Rasheed Brokenborough as the 2 guard, Mark Karcher was the 3 that lit up the Boilers and Lamont Barnes and wide-body Kevin Lyde were the starters at the 4 and 5.
Lamont is who I remember as the main big player, but recall the wide body killing us. I think Macon was suppose to be their best.. I "think" I recall their match-up not causing problems for Purdue as expected, but Purdue couldn't stop their inside game of smash mouth...
Thanks...
Kevin Lyde is the wide-body you recall. They also had a backup wide-body named Ronald Rollerson, who played well in limited minutes.
I was at that game and Temple seemed to just hit shots at will. I was at the Duke Temple game as well and they couldn’t hit anything.
