NCAA basketball tournaments

NCAA Basketball Second seeded Tennessee Volunteers almost lost it.  They were outhustled for much of the NCAA Tournament today in the first round of the East Regional against the American Eagles. With 11 minutes left they were tied 40-40. With 5:45 left Tennessee was ahead 53-51. The NCAA basketball tournament's harried pace came to a peak during a 10 second sequence that included a steal by Lofton, a behind-the-back pass, a monster block and an American player diving out of bounds to save a loose ball. No points, but great action. Finally Tennessee found its touch at the end with a score was 75-57. American was trying to become the fifth # 15 seed to pull an upset, but in the end The Eagles wound up like Belmont against Duke,the night before.
