CHARLOTTE, NC- Even though the three-point shot might as well have been non-existent for Tennessee on Saturday night, the Vols are moving onto the Sweet Sixteen after beating Texas.
In one of the wildest halves of basketball, (and not for the great play on the court), Tennessee could not hit a three-point shot if its life depended on it. Honestly, it was almost comical every time the Vols tried a shot outside the perimeter, but they still found a way to hold-off Texas in the final six minutes.

Oakland overnight sensation Jack Gohlke ran out of game, and North Carolina State found a third wind as one Cinderella sent the other home.
No. 11 seed North Carolina State outscored the 14-seed Golden Grizzlies 13-7 in overtime for a 79-73 victory to win its seventh game in 12 days and advance to the Sweet 16 in Dallas next weekend.
“We strung together some really good games, and we’re going to the Sweet 16, brother,” North Carolina State coach Kevin Keatts said.
The Wolfpack (24-14) will play on Friday against the winner of No.

The Duquesne Dukes got to the March Madness tournament for the first time since 1977, but they didn’t have a band to come and cheer them on.
That is, until the Creighton Preparatory School (CPS) band stepped in.
A group of about two dozen high school students from the local school traveled to the CHI Health Center Omaha in Omaha, NE, and came to the aid of the Dukes for their Round of 64 matchup against the BYU Cougars on Thursday. For the kids who showed up, it was the experience of a lifetime to play in front of 17,650 fans.
