Now 44-29, Tenn

We don't look so bad, now.
But what the heck?

Tenn was up by 15 at one point. Fire Jay Wright!

44-29 now. Same formula they beat us with, offensive rebounding. 10 more shots at the basket.

even with the difference in boards...Purdue would have beaten them if they played smarter on offense. Now, if Tenn can win this tourney and Purdue win out...it won't hurt Purdue as bad in seedings...as Tenn beating Purdue with Villanova and Arizona winning...

I've been busy, but curious if they are letting them play like yesterday...

I remember that the passing and rebounding as glaring issues yesterday. Purdue can get better as the season unfold, but it is really taking long time.

Boiler Up!

Rebounding is a mentality and simply something some one has to want to do. Purdue needs to be tougher in their boxing out and going after the rebound. That could be that CMP was trying to get out and run more...but you can’t do that if you give up 22 offensive boards.

Game is being called like ours. I think the whole starting nova 5 are in foul trouble and we’re from the tip-off.

Nova is doubling Williams and it is working. Brunson and Bridges taking over now.

just an observation, but Tenn is more athletic than Villanova. Now, Villanova is more athletic than us, but Tenn may be one of the more athletic teams we face all year...

just caught a glimpse and saw Tenn with a moving screen call (should have been some of those yesterday) and an offensive charge on williams for lowering his shoulder....

 

[klmLB]

also, Arizona lost to NC State, so if we beat W Kentucky tonight, we'll still increase our strength of schedule with a matchup with Zona.

Purdue game helped them with that I'm sure

yep...and if Tenn could win out with Purdue...it won't hurt as bad

Jay Wright natl champ coach 2 yrs ago, currently ranked 5th, team ridiculously athletic & skilled, now blowing Tenn doors off. If they fire, I would hire!

Sorry, just a knee jerk reaction! GQ is not going anywhere.

The difference in this game and ours was 33 of 37 from the line for Vill. and Tenn couldn't hit a three at the end. They had a couple of open shots, although rushed.

Villanova isn't great. They barely beat western Kentucky. Tennessee isn't good. We should've won the game and didn't. That's the always repeating problem of Painter.

Actually both Western Kentucky and Tennessee are pretty good teams. Let’s not get carried away here. There are plenty of games we “ should have won”. There are also plenty of games we shoul have lost too. It works that way, you know.
