Best Wins of the Painter Era #8: #6 Purdue 73, #9 Tennessee 72 – 2009

I have often wondered why there are not Whorish Islands if we have Virgin Islands. It is a question that will go unanswered for some time, but it is somewhat relevant because today’s game in the “Best Wins of the Painter Era” countdown occurred down in the Virgin Islands. It was the first time during the Painter Era that both Purdue and its opponent were in the top 10 at the time of the game

Purdue 73, Tennessee 72 – November 23, 2009 – Paradise Jam, U.S. Virgin Islands

In our top 10 this game stands out some because there wasn’t much of an atmosphere.
