Matt Painter's pride may cost Purdue the win. Too smart for his own good...

Tennessee goes on a huge run and Painter just keeps refusing to call a timeout waiting for the under 8 minute timeout.

It worked

Yep he is a genius. How did he know that he could let Tennesse go on a 9-0 run cutting a deficit of 12 down to 3 without ever calling a timeout, and still be able to pull out an OT win. I guess that's why he is making the big bucks.

I’m going to trust that Matt Painter knows what he’s doing a little more than GenevaWildcats. He gets a pass.

Hahaha!
I love that people are still trying to prove that he was wrong.

They were dogs in this game, Tennessee was going to make a run, Admiral was scoreless in the first half, he was not going to be scoreless in the second. Purdue took the punch and held on.

If Purdue doesn't hit their free throws they'll lose the next game. I believe they were right around 50%

Wish the huskers could bag on a husker coach not calling a time out in the second round of the NCAA tournament!
