Tennessee falls in Sweet 16 matchup against Purdue in OT

All good things must come to an end and unfortunately for the Tennessee Volunteers, their excellent 2018-2019 season came to a defeating halt at the hands of the Purdue Boilermakers in the Sweet 16.

Jordan Bone got the scoring started, draining a 3 from the top of the key to give the Vols an early 3-0 lead.

But Purdue would answer with a 6-0 run to start off their night. Bone was able to cut the lead to 6-5 with another basket, but a Ryan Cline 3 put the Boilermakers up 9-5 with 17:05 to go in the first half.
