It’s tough to beat a good basketball team in the Elite 8. It’s even more difficult when the number of opponents against you on the basketball court is eight, and that often felt like the case on Sunday afternoon in Detroit when the Tennessee Vols took on the Purdue Boilermakers with a trip to the Final Four on the line.
Unfortunately, Tennessee couldn’t make their five stand up higher than Purdue’s five and the three individuals in the striped shirts that also were unfortunately on the floor. The Vols fell 72-66, ending what looked to be a dream season one game prematurely.
