Rick Barnes on facing Purdue

“I haven’t thought a lot about them. I’ve kind of always been able to just think about (Syracuse), but the coaching staff obviously had all these teams here scouted before we got here, and they’ll get to see them live here … Matt Painter, I mean, he’s a big-time coach, you know. Obviously got a great basketball player and (Zach) Edey’s development is really impressive. I mean, I go back and watch him where he started and where he is. And I think like all of us, we’ve tried to add through the portal that we hope will help us.

“And I said it coming in, these games are gonna help us all some way, somehow. Like today we did some uncharacteristic things. I don’t think I’ve ever coached a team with a guy stepped out of bounds four times, one player three times. And I can’t explain it because he hadn’t done it before. But the fact is both of those programs are great programs and great tradition. We know that whoever we have to play, we’re have to be ready.”

Maui Invitational First Round: Vols 73, Syracuse 56

Tennessee got 17 points from Dalton Knecht and double-doubles from both Josiah-Jordan James and Jonas Aidoo in Monday’s 73-56 win over Syracuse in the first round of the Maui Invitational. James had 15 points and 12 rebounds while Aidoo added 14 points and 11 boards.

Knecht scored 15 of his 17 points in 19 minutes in the first half and played just 10 minutes in the second half while battling cramps in his left leg.

Tennessee sophomore power forward Tobe Awaka left the game early with a right ankle injury and didn’t return. Redshirt freshman guard Freddie Dilione V was ruled out before the game and labeled day-to-day due to a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot.
