Tennessee Tops Ohio State, Reaches Elite Eight

ST. LOUIS — One Evan Turner is pretty good. Five Tennessee Volunteers are even better. Brian Williams scored the go-ahead basket on a tip-in with 32 seconds left, Bobby Maze converted a pair of late free throws and J.P. Prince blocked a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer Friday night, leading Tennessee past Ohio State 76-73 and into the NCAA tournament's round of eight for the first time. Wayne Chism finished with 22 points – all but four in the second half – and 11 rebounds for the sixth-seeded Volunteers (28-8), who pulled out a back-and-forth tussle in the Midwest Regional semifinals. As the final buzzer sounded, Tennessee players let out screams of joy and sprinted onto the court. Few expected this from the Vols considering where they were on Jan.
