You know, I'd say something about that being a crazy pick... but Winthrop beat Notre Dame, who I had in the elite eight.

So anything's possible. I still like the Vols to edge the Cavaliers in this one, though.

UVa faces small, but explosive Vols
Lynchburg News and Advance, VA - 2 hours ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Will Harris watched the points pile up, the 3-pointers drop from every angle and the pace never wane. Tennessee was running Long Beach State off the court, tying an NCAA tournament first-round record by racking up 121 points.

"I've seen a couple of teams score 121 points in a game," Virginia's freshman forward said Saturday, a day before he and the fourth-seeded Cavaliers play the fifth-seeded Volunteers with a Sweet 16 appearance in the balance. "The Phoenix Suns. The Mavericks. The (Harlem) Globetrotters."

In other words, prolific, unique offenses, just like the one the Volunteers (23-10) will unleash on the defensive-minded Cavaliers at 12:10 this afternoon at the Nationwide Arena.

Classic battle of high-scoring offense vs. tough as nails defense. Who has the edge?

GO VOLLS

Vols are hot & cold. Down by 10 & then a run to be down by only 3 at the half. Let's see who wins the battle of the half time talks.

Shocking. Virginia's turning out to be a much better team than I expected.

[rmjvol]

How many SEC teams in the sweet 16 this year?

[UT Vols News]

Now the whole state of Tennessee can paint itself orange.

JaJuan Smith led a second-half comeback, Chris Lofton made one free throw after another in the final seconds and the Volunteers held off Virginia 77-74 Sunday in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Fifth-seeded Tennessee (24-10) reached the round of 16 for the first time since 2000 under second-year coach Bruce Pearl, who painted himself orange before a Lady Vols' game last month to show his spirit.

VOLS ADVANCE TO SWEET 16 WITH 77-74 WIN OVER VIRGINIA
