Zach Edey's biggest problem are his guards and probably his coach.

I like Tennessee's body language. (and Purdue's). Vols have a reputation of chokers, and I thought they might start tight. But they aren't. So this is good news for us spectators!

6 fouls in less than 9 minutes for the Vols. If it tightens up, that's advantage Purdue.

Momentum in Purdue's favor. Nice response to Tennesse's run.

If all of Tennessee's bigs foul out, how can they stay in this game? Ziegler (too many missed free throws) and Jordan-James need to get involved.

Vols are gonna lose at this rate. Can't generate any offense outside of Knecht. Purdue's guards aren't that strong or particularly tall. Yet they can't take advantage of it.
