We get early afternoon basketball for Purdue as the Boilers play in the first game of the Battle 4 Atlantis against Tennessee. Here is what I said about the Vols in yesterday’s preview for the entire tournament:
Purdue is 2-1 all-time against the Volunteers, last beating them 73-72 in the Paradise Jam championship back in 2009 when Purdue was ranked 6th and the Vols were ranked 9th. So far this season they are 2-0 after blowing out Presbyterian and High Point. Against High Point they even had a 32-0 run out of a 7-7 tie that put the game away early.
