Vnaderbilt shot the ball awful
Ogilvy wasn’t good. But Cincy looked solid. I think the Big East is going to be really good again this year

SEC off to a terrible start in the non-con
Miami beat South Carolina by 15, Louisville beat Arkansas by 30, Villanova beat Ole Miss by 12, Cincy beats Vandy today by 9, all supposed SEC tourney contenders…this goes with Rider beating Mississippi State and Cornell beating Alabama. A win by the Vols tonight would be, by far, the best SEC win of the season.

Better than Kentucky over Miami(OH)?
Because that was pretty epic.

Re: SEC non-conf wins
Vandy does have an away win over WCC giant Santa Clara. Who knows how good they are this year with their best player in the NBA, but it’s a respectable win.

Isn't Gonzaga in the WCC?
Patty Mills made that team, more or less.

I want to say that we've been slightly better in the first half
But it’s really hard to say. Really close game. A mix of early season sloppiness and pretty great stuff on both sides.
Chism’s foul trouble makes me VERY apprehensive about the second half. He’s been our heart and soul.

Halftime Stats of Note
Incredibly even…both teams 12-15 at the line, Vols 13 of 30, Purdue 14 of 31.
Purdue +2 rebs, +1 turnovers, assists dead even, fouls 12 apiece.
Only UT advantage is from 3 – Vols 3 of 9, Purdue 2 of 11

whats important is to learn an improve from a game like this
an early loss can be a positive for a team. we need to do that. for as sloppy as we played and as poorly as we shot, losing by 1 to a team like purdue is not so bad

Scotty Hopson
last two games: 5 of 20
We’ve got Charleston, ETSU, MTSU and Wyoming before it gets serious again at Southern Cal on December 19…he’s gotta find it again before then

He was our 2nd worst player tonight (Woolridge)
I half wanted us to close with Maze/Goins/Tatum/Chism/Tyler
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 10:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Good game
I think Maze should have just taken it to the rack again on the last possession. Sometimes I think he forgets that he has that ability.

I agree
That’s what I was hoping he’d do. I think he would’ve made it.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 10:57 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Completely agree.
Disappointed that Wayne for 3 was the best we could get at the end. I know he can make it but that doesn’t make it a high percentage shot.
Good game by the vols, very entertaining.

he was our second leading scorer with 13
and did a great job a couple of possessions earlier. I’m sure most/all of our end of game scenarios involve Tyler/Wayne/Hopson taking the shot though, and Maze may not be coached to go score

Stat of the game:
48 fouls in 40 minutes.
by Hooper on Nov 23, 2009 10:58 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Ridiculous, both ways.
I’m amazed the players managed to make it such a great game with all the ticky-tacky crap going both ways.

It's hard.
You a Purdue fan? Can’t tell from your profile.
I don’t know about Purdue, but I do know that start-stop ball hurts our squad. They have to learn to play through that.
by Hooper on Nov 23, 2009 11:01 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
Purdue boards here are a little slow =/
Slow probably benefits us, but having our most important player on the bench for 25 minutes for touch fouls sure doesn’t.
by rcpratt on Nov 23, 2009 11:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
No. That really hurt you.
I don’t think the calls gave anybody a noticeable advantage. Just … frustrating.

How many tournaments has Pearl won since he has been at UT
I am NOT knocking coach Pearl, he is the man, I’m just curious. Seems like we always either come so close to winning or get knocked out prematurely….
Neyland Stadium-It goes to eleven.

zero
last tournament UT won: 2000 Rainbow Classic with Jerry Green

Yeah
And it doesn’t get any easier. The SEC will be tough this year.

What was the biggest lead tonight?
Purdue by 6? That’s the definition of a tight game.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 11:04 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
We had 7-1 early as well.
But I can’t remember anything bigger.
by Hooper on Nov 23, 2009 11:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah. Forgot about that
So both teams had a 6.

From Jay Williams at ESPN:
@RealJayWilliams In that situation, @WayneChism has to drive to the basket and either make a play or get fouled. Can’t take a 3 down
by golfballs03 on Nov 23, 2009 11:06 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
thought the same thing
take it to hole, lane was so open.
Neyland Stadium-It goes to eleven.

it was so wide
that was a terrible blunder

a 7 seed?
@franfraschilla Nice nail-biter in the Virgin Islands as Purdue holds on to beat the Vols. Good 2-7 NCAA match-up in March!

Methinks not.
Not unless they regress.
by Hooper on Nov 23, 2009 11:08 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Or unless this year turns into last year redux
Hopefully I’m just being pessimistic. But our shooting wasn’t great, Hopson disappeared, we turned the ball over, and we couldn’t win in the end. All sounds familiar.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 11:09 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We WERE a 9 last year
But seriously? We’d better be better than a seven this year.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 11:08 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We'll have to win something in the USC/Memphis/Kansas stretch
Preferably 2 or 3…and the SEC better not suck as bad this year, though it’s not off to a great start on that front.
by VolnVA on Nov 23, 2009 11:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We need at least two of those
USC and Memphis should be down this year. USC should be WAY down.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 11:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
And not that that was in a LOSS to Loyola Marymount. Like I said, we’d better beat USC. We need at least one of two against Memphis and Kansas. I’d say we’ll be favored in Memphis. Winning at home vs. Kansas will be a tall order.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 23, 2009 11:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
oohh
i’m excited about that one. we need to get it loud in there!
by golfballs03 on Nov 23, 2009 11:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
So now have all the SEC teams lost a non-con game?
Neyland Stadium-It goes to eleven.

Kentucky hasn't.
Nor Florida or LSU

He'll have to be careful tweeting this early after games like that.

Yeah, I wasn't complaining about it.
Just observing that there will likely be some blowback.

Recap up
Vols are back Friday night in Knoxville vs. College of Charleston…thanks all for hanging out with us tonight
