This felt like a championship game. Pretty similar to what happened earlier in the regular season, Purdue dominated in rebounding, points in the paint, and at the free throw line. Dalton Knecht willed his team to within striking distance, but just didn’t get enough help from his teammates. Congratulations to Purdue for their first final four in 44 years
33 free throws to only 11. Edey had only one foul called on him the entire game, when he was hacking on rebounds just like everyone else. Sham job. And everyone outside of Purdue’s fans know it.
Easily my favorite moment. It was the only super notable time Knecht or Edey really got *at* one-another thanks to Edey playing safe, sorta passive defense and Knecht guarding basically anybody but Edey.
@@justinscherb749 he’s like a bigger version of Reddick. Has the dog in him and can shoot lights out when he’s in the flow. Plenty of teams will have a spot for him and want what he can bring to the table
Yea unfortunately he’ll probably end up in Europe or g league. the nba doesn’t care about skill anymore. Just want pure athleticism and raw talent…imo. Look at Jaden Ivey being a lottery pick because of his insane athleticism. DK is way more skilled and he’ll prolly end up overseas.
Proud to be from TN today. We didn’t get it done and hate to lose Dalton but wow, what a season. What a athlete. What a team. This felt like the national championship game! Congrats Vols. You made us proud. GBO
Though East bracket is the toughest on paper, UConn actually has the easiest route to the final game. Don't expect Alabama to surprise them - they won rather unconvincingly. Purdue can be upset by NC State but should still be favored. Expect UConn vs. Purdue in the final and a repeat champion.
Lance Jones playing like Dog Water the whole game, then proceeds to hit arguably the most important 3 of his life. God it’s great to be a Purdue fan today.
lol i was screaming at him man...2 threes that didn't touch the rim and then that turnover during the 12-0 run for a uncontested dunk...damn....i will say though he guarded Knecht better than anyone else...didn't stop him by any means, but contained him for awhile

Dalton is going to be drafted in the Top-10. Edey, I have no idea where he will be drafted, , he is molasses slow and he will be shut-down against the NBA's best Centers. However, he would make a great back-up or half-court specialist.

This game - two teams confident on their feet playing with energy and precise movement. Compare this to UConn v. Illinois yesterday - both teems sloppy, no rhythm and stump long over their own feet. This is Purdue's year, UConn hasn't played this kind of basketball all year, and I don't think they can.
Whether or not you think one team is better than another doesn’t good defense tend to make teams look more sloppy? By that same token if UConn was sloppy they also showed it didn’t matter against a very good team.
🤣🤣Sorry to burst your bubble but UCONN has been THE BEST TEAM all year guess a 30-0 run last night means no rhythm.? 🤣UCONN has more then 1 player & will take more then Zach to win it all.
UConn will not be able to just feed Clingon against Purdue. Edey can certainly hold his own one on one. The rest of the team matches up well. It’s a pretty even matchup. It’ll be a fun game to watch.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Historical mediocre Purdue finally makes a Final Four for the first time in 44 years and their fandom thinks they are better than the obvious best team in the nation this year in UCONN. If UCONN brings its “A” game then UCONN will defeat Purdue by 20-30 points.
@@washedupwarvet2027he’s talking about offense. Dude had a tent pitched in the paint, was never called for it once, always under the basket never called once, and his elbows are dirty.. he’ll be a non factor in the nba after he fouls out in 5 minutes
Dude Edey is just dominating but he gets away with a lot of pushing when going for rebounds. Not a fan of either teams so don’t care who wins but something I noticed. Rooting for UCONN
Congratulations to the 3 referee's that helped purdue to an undeserved win...edey 3 sec call everytime on offense...charging everytime he gets it on the block and shooting more free throws in the history of the tournament when it's all said and done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Edey had one foul called on him. One. Not that he never gets hacked, but he was hooking and pushing just like anyone else. Every single game is like this. Reg Season, Big 10 tourney you name it
We literally can’t do anything against him it’s unfair like how are we supposed to guard him Ig not foul him but it’s hard not to foul him when he’s so tall and big
@@flareon6472 in basketball, you are allowed to use your cylinder to create space. if you cant tell, Edey is bigger than everyone, so he has bigger elbows and a bigger cylinder. Hence when he uses his elbows, its okay because hes still in his cylinder. thats why its good to be bigger in basketball :) Im assuming you are new to basketball so as you watch more you will see this, especially in the nba where everyone is big
Yeah, we are. At least all of us who focus on anything outside of hockey. Don't get me wrong, hockey is fine and all, but it's not even in my top 3 sports, and we got a kid making major noise during March Madness
Tennessee had … More assists; More blocks; More 3-pointers; Higher 3-pt %; More steals; More fast-break points; The largest lead at one point; Less turnovers; and More points off turnovers. And, we had … 22 less free throw attempts and 13 more fouls. Tough. Lost by 6.
Purdue shot better overall, had way more rebounds and way more points in the paint. Tennessee had 1 more assists and 2 more blocks. Purdue had 47 rebounds to 26 for Tennessee. There's your game right there as that's 21 more possessions.
I had Tenn wining the whole thing. I knew Edey was going ot be a problem Friday. Tenn isn't that big or deep in the paint w/ that 4 guard offense. Not enough rebounding by Tenn. Edey had a MONSTER game 40 points and 16 boards. Looks Like Purdue and Conn will be in the Finasl. I'd love to see a Purdue and NC State matchup in the Final 4. Burns can score on Edey, but not sure if Burns is assertive enough to dominat ein teh paitn against Edey. Conn got 3x 6'10" -7'2" guys and they can play in the paint.
What a joke. To give one team 33 free throws and the other team only 11. Also, they make sure the other teams best big men get in foul trouble early so Edey can go against bench players. Also, they only call one foul on Edey the whole game when he was doing the same stuff as every one else on rebounds. He was just shoving people from behind and never got called. What a sham job college basketball is.
It’ll be alright man. Look it took us 44 years to finally end the curse. You guys have a solid program and I have no doubt you’ll get to a final 4 one day.
Not even a Purdue fan but edey gets so much undeserved hate. Maybe won’t be a great nba player but he’s put together an all time college career regardless of his size or not. A guy as tall and as big as him who can move and play 40 mins in an elite 8 game is impressive.
PURDUE VS UCONN will be an epic ncaa basketball game . The battle of the giant Zach Edey 7'4" and Donovan clingan 7' 2" . I know who I'm voting for. LETS GO BOILERMAKERS 🚆 CHOOO CHOOOOOOO......BABY WOOOO....
I am actually a UNC fan whose program has the NCAA record for most Final Four appearances at 21. It took historical mediocre Purdue 44 straight years to finally make a Final Four again and all for naught because they might as well give the trophy to UCONN since hey are head and shoulders way above every other team remaining.
Completing the cast is Purdue University as the 1st ranked Boilermakers won the Midwest Region with a 72-66 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers to advance to the #Final4 in 44 years led by Zach Edey's 40 points & 16 rebounds.
1st time I've seen Tennessee all year...all I know is dat boy Knecht is NBA ready!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Whether or not you think one team is better than another doesn’t good defense tend to make teams look more sloppy?
By that same token if UConn was sloppy they also showed it didn’t matter against a very good team.
🤣🤣Sorry to burst your bubble but UCONN has been THE BEST TEAM all year guess a 30-0 run last night means no rhythm.? 🤣UCONN has more then 1 player & will take more then Zach to win it all.
@@brunobagofdonuts9304 UCONN has two platoons 😳🤯
UConn will not be able to just feed Clingon against Purdue. Edey can certainly hold his own one on one. The rest of the team matches up well. It’s a pretty even matchup. It’ll be a fun game to watch.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Historical mediocre Purdue finally makes a Final Four for the first time in 44 years and their fandom thinks they are better than the obvious best team in the nation this year in UCONN. If UCONN brings its “A” game then UCONN will defeat Purdue by 20-30 points.
Man I love Tennessee basketball I can't wait until next season
UT looked to have a couple guys taking the under on themselves
🤔 Jonas Aidoo poofed away from the arena in the first half
Knecht was the only dude who took the over
Knecht skills will be a great NBA addition..
Here after lakers draft knecht . 👍
I am too 😂 LakerNation
Great game defense on both ends was crazy!
And plus allowing edey to shoot however many he shot is unacceptable like how could we possibly foul him that much
hey he got one foul.. and violated the 3 second rule constantly
@@contour157is there a 3 second rule in college basketball???
@@dancingbabybins Only on offense, not on defense
@@contour157there’s no 3 second rule on Defense
@@washedupwarvet2027he’s talking about offense. Dude had a tent pitched in the paint, was never called for it once, always under the basket never called once, and his elbows are dirty.. he’ll be a non factor in the nba after he fouls out in 5 minutes
Knecht is amazing! He can score any way he wants
Hope my spurs draft him
Dude Edey is just dominating but he gets away with a lot of pushing when going for rebounds. Not a fan of either teams so don’t care who wins but something I noticed. Rooting for UCONN
Of course you are
I've never seen a more protected big man.
This has to be Purdue’s turning point of the season. Edey’s all pumped up for a Virginia-like redemption season
They earned it 4 sure tn represented
“How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?”
Edey is the best Ncaa center since Kareem aka Lew Alcindor 40+ yrs ago
Do you remember Greg Oden?? Not that he's the best but he's the first that comes to mind that was better.
your azn incel gets his baby refs to call in whenever someone looks at him. will be the biggest bust in NBA history
Lol, nothing special about dude except his height
NO
Bill Walton, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Christian Laettner, Tim Duncan, Emeka Okafor.
Edey vs Burns is must see TV if only we get to see it!!!
Edey ... What a player
Knecht though.... what a stud. Carried that Tennessee team
15 is amazing!!! Smart great feet good touch!
Can't wait to see Knecht in the NBA, if he lands in Miami he could be an All Star caliber player
Congratulations to the 3 referee's that helped purdue to an undeserved win...edey 3 sec call everytime on offense...charging everytime he gets it on the block and shooting more free throws in the history of the tournament when it's all said and done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Whatta game!!!
Edey had one foul called on him. One. Not that he never gets hacked, but he was hooking and pushing just like anyone else. Every single game is like this. Reg Season, Big 10 tourney you name it
Cryin' out loud
Exactly. He goes in the the elbows and don’t get called bruh.
What we supposed to do? Let him take us?
We literally can’t do anything against him it’s unfair like how are we supposed to guard him Ig not foul him but it’s hard not to foul him when he’s so tall and big
@@flareon6472 in basketball, you are allowed to use your cylinder to create space. if you cant tell, Edey is bigger than everyone, so he has bigger elbows and a bigger cylinder. Hence when he uses his elbows, its okay because hes still in his cylinder. thats why its good to be bigger in basketball :) Im assuming you are new to basketball so as you watch more you will see this, especially in the nba where everyone is big
@@killa2488keep telling yourself he ain’t fouling. He will foul out the first 5 minutes with those elbows in the league. Shut up. Please
What an epic game, good stuff!
All of Canada is behind this kid 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yeah, we are. At least all of us who focus on anything outside of hockey. Don't get me wrong, hockey is fine and all, but it's not even in my top 3 sports, and we got a kid making major noise during March Madness
I really hope Canada advances out of the Group phase in the 26 WC 🍁
@GeoAce777 me too. The talent is there if Murray, Wiggins, Matherin and others join SGA, Brooks and RJ. This is a lineup that should medal
@@gregh6195 desire to see a new champion 🇳🇱 🇭🇷
Hella of a game. Wow
Tennessee had …
More assists;
More blocks;
More 3-pointers;
Higher 3-pt %;
More steals;
More fast-break points;
The largest lead at one point;
Less turnovers; and
More points off turnovers.
And, we had …
22 less free throw attempts and
13 more fouls.
Tough. Lost by 6.
Purdue shot better overall, had way more rebounds and way more points in the paint. Tennessee had 1 more assists and 2 more blocks. Purdue had 47 rebounds to 26 for Tennessee. There's your game right there as that's 21 more possessions.
Sounds suspicious unless you watched the game.
I don’t care about Perdue but… Tennessee: Never a final four. Hahahaha 😂😂😂
@@Stanaford You can't even spell Purdue correctly fool. Typical illiterate American.
The game is about scoring. The Boilers had easier shots, closer to the basket. Vols played a very good game. Not enough.
everyone all about Edie, but Smith is an incredible point! Should be in NBA now!
what an amazing game. i wish the Vols coulda taken it but it was still fun to watch
I had Tenn wining the whole thing. I knew Edey was going ot be a problem Friday. Tenn isn't that big or deep in the paint w/ that 4 guard offense. Not enough rebounding by Tenn. Edey had a MONSTER game 40 points and 16 boards. Looks Like Purdue and Conn will be in the Finasl. I'd love to see a Purdue and NC State matchup in the Final 4. Burns can score on Edey, but not sure if Burns is assertive enough to dominat ein teh paitn against Edey. Conn got 3x 6'10" -7'2" guys and they can play in the paint.
You got your wish granted for the tourney semifinal
That's Yao Ming right there!
He reminds me of Ÿao Ming, but he may be better. I saw him as a freshman and he wasn't good. He has worked so hard and deserves all the credit
Purdue played great but Knecht had the best performance. He proved he can play at the next level.
What a joke. To give one team 33 free throws and the other team only 11. Also, they make sure the other teams best big men get in foul trouble early so Edey can go against bench players. Also, they only call one foul on Edey the whole game when he was doing the same stuff as every one else on rebounds. He was just shoving people from behind and never got called. What a sham job college basketball is.
Exactly.
How obvious can you make it they wanted Purdue to win from the start
Haters
Yeah, that’s what happens when one team fouls more than the other 😂
@@PrimeTime015sorry if the truth hurts your feelings. He was pushing people from behind on almost every rebound and never got called.
There is either a burst pipe or a staggering amount of crying in here, my feet are wet
We always fall short every year it never fails, an it doesnt matter which sport
It’ll be alright man. Look it took us 44 years to finally end the curse. You guys have a solid program and I have no doubt you’ll get to a final 4 one day.
Basketball is a contact support.I think people forget edy is the man,,
Not even a Purdue fan but edey gets so much undeserved hate. Maybe won’t be a great nba player but he’s put together an all time college career regardless of his size or not. A guy as tall and as big as him who can move and play 40 mins in an elite 8 game is impressive.
PURDUE VS UCONN will be an epic ncaa basketball game . The battle of the giant Zach Edey 7'4" and Donovan clingan 7' 2" .
I know who I'm voting for.
LETS GO BOILERMAKERS 🚆 CHOOO CHOOOOOOO......BABY WOOOO....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
UCONN is the more complete team.
Lol edey vs 8 UConn players. But maybe edey can get them all fouled out.
If UCONN brings their “A” game then they will defeat Purdue by 20-30 points.
@@JTH-hm8ewno they won’t 😆
Refs gave them the win. Can't win against that. Good tourney Tennessee.
Not a good tourney. We don’t win it ain’t good. If I die not seeing us win I’ll die sad.
@@flareon6472us and we. Lol.. you aren’t a part of it, don’t dwell.. they don’t know you exist
@@flareon6472yea
The only reason why they one was bc Edey and we didn’t know how to play clean defense on him and if they didn’t have edey we would’ve cooked them
lol so salty
Forget the game..Knecht's play out shined everything going on around him..The game was just an after thought..My man is NBA material..
Boiler Up 🚂
Refs up!
A mediocre slogan for an historical mediocre program. It took 44 years to get back to the Final Four.
@@JTH-hm8ewtake the L boi. You comment on every post with Purdue. They live in your head rent free.
I am actually a UNC fan whose program has the NCAA record for most Final Four appearances at 21. It took historical mediocre Purdue 44 straight years to finally make a Final Four again and all for naught because they might as well give the trophy to UCONN since hey are head and shoulders way above every other team remaining.
I live in 2024, where's UNC? Whoever that is. @@JTH-hm8ew
Completing the cast is Purdue University as the 1st ranked Boilermakers won the Midwest Region with a 72-66 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers to advance to the #Final4 in 44 years led by Zach Edey's 40 points & 16 rebounds.
It’s nice to see a comment section for once not slandering edey or the refs. Truly refreshing.
