Rick Barnes changes tune on the late foul call against Purdue

Tennessee’s season came to an end last week in a Sweet 16 matchup against Purdue after a controversial call sent the game into overtime. Lamonte Turner was charged with a foul against Carsen Edwards, who was shooting a three pointer from the corner for the win.

Edwards missed, but hit two of three free throws to send the game to overtime. Purdue took charge in the extra period, eventually winning 99-94.

“It was a foul,” Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said emphatically after the game. Now after a few days to digest and watch replays, Barnes isn’t so sure.
