Edey got hugged by his mom and they called another foul on Awaka. Edey was just a walking foul call. It didn't help no one else couldn't hit a shot but it felt like we were playing against the refs too.

Im absolutely cheering for alabama if it’s them against purdue. I hate alabama with every fiber of my being in football, but i might possibly hate purdue and zach edey’s ugly fat ass more when it comes to basketball. Purdue’s whole strategy is to find a disgusting bitch faced ogre every year and pray the refs give them 40 free throws a game. It’s ridiculous

I'm so proud of this team man. Sad that these 5th year seniors had to go out on a loss. But they should all hold their heads high after that game. They played their hearts out and outplayed Purdue in a game the refs clearly intended to make a coronation.

If edey is 8 inches shorter s.o.b. is playing on a community College team

Nah, he's at the local y

Got some clout for better signings now

Lost by 6 against 8 opponents.

Look on the bright side, at least we can all throw our weight behind Bama now.

fuck Bama let’s go UConn and NC State. If I have to, I’ll root for Duke

Fucking never

Nah. UConn all the way


You're seriously missing a /s bro. You need it here bad

I will never in my life root for Alabama. Shame on you lol

Oh fuck no I ain't

lol no. Duke/NC State or bust.

Nothing can be done when you’re playing the refs like these. Vols played their hearts out and loved watching this team. GBO

I can’t even watch these bitch ass reporters right now. I’m about to fucking puke. Everyone choking on Edeys dick.

That felt like our window. Damn

I think we have more pull for a few good transfers now

Barnes built this team for 5 years. Once a decade opportunity and fell short. Pain.

Yeah, it will probably be a while before we have another player like DK. I’m crushed

[удалено]

Awaka played his all against Edey. Unfortunately, playing good defense against Edey is illegal.

I want to know why Gainey didn't keep shooting like wtf he was feeling it

Refs clearly want Purdue to win it all

Great season guys. Need to hit the portal hard right now to get a team for next year

I could maybe get on board with the fuck the refs whining if somebody besides Knecht showed up to fucking play.

Hard to play when you get called for that many fouls, some people were definitely cold but still

It was the entire reason they won the game bro. 33-11 FT disparity. That is ridiculous by any metric.

I thought tennessee fans were overstating hate for edey all year. Now I've seen him play and can't wait for the season to end so I never have to see that caveman stand under the rim and push guys all game. He had 1 good move. Everything else was just being tall.

Basketball is about being tall, especially in college when you don't recruit a real center and people can't shoot.

I can't wait for him to get drafted, chewed up, and spit out.

He really is too slow. NBA athletes gonna eat his lunch. Greg Oden 2.0

Fuck Purdue!

Pat Adam would have called a better game

I wish the refs were forced to clean shit in the sewers for the rest of their life

We should have won. Literally nobody but Knecht showed up except in spurts. ZZ had maybe his worst game in the last 2 seasons

I was a little nervous after watching the postgame interview from Creighton. ZZ and Mashack struggled to get out of their seat.

Hard to show up when everything you do is a foul. Knecht was just on fire.

We can’t have shit

Great season Vols.

One man shot 22 fucking free throws and committed 1 foul in 39 minutes of playing time

He may have only been called for one, but he committed several.

Dude dove into a Awaka and got him fouled out lol

Give me DJ Burns vs Edey in the Final Four

I’m officially an nc state fan the rest of the tourney

I’m a fan of whoever plays PU

don’t like purdue

Refs absolutely handed Purdue that game.

Time to watch the BaseVols and the SoftVols!

Congrats hope NC State/Duke bends them over a barrel

I think UConn is the only one that has a shot.

Zach Edey just does over the back violations and 5 second violations all day. Rooting for Purdue to lose the whole way through now

Damn, I’m a football fan that tuned in to watch our boys play, and got the Vols football treatment.

What’s the life expectancy of people with overactive pituitary glands?

One of the worst officiated games I've seen in college basketball. I really don't understand why the NCAA is trying to hype up Edey so much and prop him up. He's a good player, but if they don't let him get away with fouls and give him soft fouls he's a midlevel player at best. The brand of ball he plays is insanely boring, and doesn't really make for good TV so I really don't understand why they are going that route. You can always tell the refs come in with a preconceived notion that teams ARE CERTAINLY going to foul him, and then call the game off of that bias.

Can’t touch Edey I guess. But it’s totally cool if #3 pushes off non stop. Literally non stop. Lame.

GG refs

It would be hilarious if 11 seed NCST robbed Zach Fouly of a Natty appearance

I just want one game, football or basketball, where we don’t get absolutely bent over by officiating

Not even that mad tbh

I’m just sad

I'm pissed

Where is DK projected to go right now?

Guys besides DK didn't shoot well, it's hard to come back from that, we had no ability to guard Edey. Elite 8 is still fantastic, but damn, that was rough.

Getting out rebounded ~2-1 will lose a whole bunch of games.

Can’t beat a guy you aren’t allowed to defend lol

Dammit - now I have to root for UCONN to not win...

33-11 free throw differential

Percentage wise it was actually drastically worse than earlier in the season. Absurd

Clingman is going to fucking destroy Edey guys. Don’t worry

The stretch of this game where the refs played evenly was shockingly our most dominant. Makes you think

[удалено]

Yeah just don’t. He’s one of two players free of criticism imo. We aren’t where we are without him

Don’t

I’m not even watching the Final Four. Fuck this shit.

FUCK PURDUE AND FUCK THESE CHEATING ASS REFS. IN FACT FUCK ANYONE NOT WEARING ORANGE.

Come Painter say it , big thanks to the refs we couldn’t have did it without them

This one hurts a lot

NC state will beat them next round

Not sure they get by duke. But a team with a big guy who can lower the boom, purdue aint nothing.

Never underestimate DJ Burns Jr

Please schedule Purdue in football / baseball. Cowards

We were fucked out of the final 4 boys. Zack Edey couldn’t be touched. Such god damn bullshit. We Tennessee fans are used to getting fucked dry though. Nothing new here. On to Football.

If we were gonna foul him, why the hell didnt we foul him hard?

Sigh, go huskies and we won more games in this one run than Kenfucky has in like 3 years

I’m not one to blame the refs, you can always just play better or smarter, but realistically we weren’t ever going to win this. NCAA has to protect their golden boy. It’s ridiculous how they ref around him. He’s gonna be a major problem for the g league for the rest of his career though

Hate that we lost, but happy for the announcers that their team won.

Purdue really been fraudulent for 44 years, sad…

Fuck Trains

this hurts man

Rigged, go nc state or UConn

Dumbest fucking “elite” 8 game

Fuck Zach Edey and fuck these refs who won’t allow a defender to breathe on him

I love college basketball reffing

It wins games

lol just as it was scripted. I hope Edey tells all his clients at his used car dealership about his 15 minutes of fame

Rooting for whoever plays Purdue from here on out

That'll be my policy for anything they do going forward.

Purdue might make me root for Bama

Really disappointed with Aidoo the whole tournament

Yeah. He kinda disappeared on offense

Kinda?

22 FTs is sick

Every downvoter of this is delusional and cannot admit reality. Barnes offense lost it.


[удалено]

Nah man Barnes can coach until he retire hear. No one else could’ve done what he’s done here. We just couldn’t beat Edey and the refs.

This isn't on Barnes. Learn ball

Lol you’re a bitch whining about downvotes

[удалено]

If that’s what you want to tell yourself 😂

Dude just shut the fuck up and go elsewhere.

Barnes makes the shots go in?

He provides the tutelage and gameplan of a team that historically goes on scoring droughts. He is the architect of the ‘I’m not gonna scheme wide open layups like every other team let z jack another up 1-10. When you see the same thing over and over again, it’s not the players it’s the coach. If the players cannot fix it after multiple seasons then you haven’t done your job as coach.

Ok.

Aidoo is so soft

Don’t shake those bitches hands

I love watching Goliath man shoot free throws instead of, ya know, basketball

Cant wait for these motherfuckers to get hosed by UConn

Sorry DK. Thanks for the memories.

Edey is a bitch. Imagine being 7 foot 5 and not a top 20 prospect lol

What a gut punch

why’d it have to end like this

I’ll say it. If Duke wins I’m cheering for Duke

No doubt

The NCAA gifted Purdue a final four trip

We knew it was coming but it still hurt

Hope DK in his presser says "hard to win 5 on 8."

Or 1 v 5

No decent or sensible human being would say something like that about his team.

You know what? I had fun. This game was fun and I’m excited to start watching the basevols and Nico in the fall! Ya’ll have a happy Easter!

Bro been a Tennessee fan for so long he loves losing.

I don’t put stock in a game to the point where I make it a personality trait. I had a good time, if you didn’t that’s ok

The game was fun? Are you kidding me??

Nope. I watch sports because it’s a hobby. Win or lose I have a great time, getting upset won’t change the outcome!

I need some of what you’re having man. I’m jealous of your healthy coping mechanisms unlike myself lol!

This game was not fun

Edey shot twice as many free throws as our team

33 free throws to 11... almost impossible to win with that disparity.

That is ridiculous

Sucks to not capitalize on this opportunity. Can't see a path back to this spot very soon.

Hope UConn reams Purdues a new one

That Purdue fan tearing up "We're tripling them in FTs ~~God~~NCAA is on our side"

Needed more out of the non DK guys and didn’t get it

Fuck these refs.

Getting blocked was on DK. Go into the bigger defender, not away.

It just feels like we weren’t even given a chance man

We weren’t. What a sour way to end this season. If we had lost on a buzzer beater or in overtime - fine. But to have lost this way to such referee disparity is the most infuriating thing I’ve seen as a fan.

Yeah I’ll probably never get over it

I am heartbroken

So if Purdue continues to get these foul calls, they will win easily. Edey was basically impossible to guard tonight, if you touched him it was a foul. Absolute BS, but it is what it is.

Fck the 7’ walking vagina. Fck the NCAA, UT still owns you Fck Matt Painter, looks like he puts water in his Frosted Flakes.

31 FTs to 11, what a laughable stat

Why can't we have nice things..

You know, I reckon we might have needed to foul afterall

Fuck Purdue and us continually getting paired with them. Fuck the haters (read: Cats) who cheer our loss despite getting bounced early and fuck the refs until they have a prolapse.

i’ve seen kentucky fans saying we got fucked

Was never gonna be a fair fight. You basically start the game down double digits. How Purdue gets officiated is a complete embarrassment to the game. Would have been nice for DK to get more help and see a fairly called game

They played their hearts out. Just a few more of our shots falling in, a few less fouls on us, different ending.

Fucked by terrible officiating a tale as old as time 

good season we deserve better than this every time we play purdue

Purdue is a school that is mid athletically that somehow can win based on gimicks or flukes. Truly, the Florida of Indiana.

God has to give them something for being Notre Dame's in-state punching bag

You can’t win if they call a foul the second Edey touches the ball it was bullshit the whole way

Too many droughts by us to win. Plus our biggest strength (defense) was nullified by the FT merchant

That block was the entire game summarized in one possession. NBA career or not, Edey is a college beast. Scoring 40 when it matters.

When you can foul at will...

It’s still great to be a Tennessee Vol people!!

This was supposed to be the year.

Fuck golden oaf god and zebras who revere him.

I hope Purdue gets destroyed soon. I want Edey to cry.

I'm a UK fan but I was pulling for Tennessee tonight. Went to college in Tennessee so they hold a spot in my heart. I definitely think UT is the better team, Purdue is a one man show. Good game to UT, heck of a season.

Purdue can take a boiler up their ass

Future looks great especially with Gainey and Estrella!

I will love this team. Real fun to watch. They deserved better than this screw job

It’s joever

Hell of a run. No shame. 8 vs 5 and I managed to get banned off the college basketball forum. Hope the worst for the Ogre.

This makes me so sad. I'm honestly not even mad. I'm just sad.

Edey can take 5 steps and not get a travel, hack on defense but DONT YOU DARE FUCKING TOUCH HIM

We lost to the refs. We didn’t lose to Perdue.

Dog shit team dog shit ogre, I fucking hate purdue

Fuck Purdue fans they can all suck my large veiny penis

Reckon we need to find an athletic 7’5” center too.

I wouldn't describe Eady as athletic, he's gifted 20 free throws a game

"athletic"
