Total respect. It would have been the biggest comeback in NCAA tournament history if we had won. It was the only game on and there were a lot of viewers nationwide

The Washington Post had a nice write up and a shoutout to Frankie Garza

Tennessee wins in overtime

There was a lot for Tennessee to take away from its 83-77 overtime victory over Iowa -- mostly what not to do.

The Volunteers came out running, jumping to a 25-point lead but then, with fouls and carelessness, they watched as Iowa got back into the game, bidding to become only the second team to rally from a 25-point deficit for a victory with a spirited 52-25 run.

The Hawkeyes were fierce down the stretch, tying the score at 71 on two free throws by Joe Weiskamp with 20.8 seconds left, and Tennessee couldn’t get off a game-winner in regulation. In overtime, Grant Williams led the way for Tennessee (31-5) with six of his 19 points.

The Volunteers set a program record for victories in a season.

Iowa (23-13), down 21 points at the half, seemed game to get back into this one, opening the second half with a 16-6 run, fueled in part by Tyler Cook, and going on another 12-2 spurt midway through the half. Helped by a phantom call on Lamonte Turner, Jordan Bohannon’s three free throws tied the score at 67 with 2:37 left. (The verdict on the call from CBS’s Gene Steratore: “I think they’ll like to have that one back” when officials see a replay.)

But it took a lot to counter the hot start by Tennessee, who dominated Iowa all across the box score in the first half and once led by 25. The Volunteers, who made their first three three-pointers, were led by Admiral Schofield’s 17 points (nine on three-pointers) and five rebounds.

Charles Barkley perhaps summed this one up best. With a huge lead like Tennessee had, just let the shot clock expire when the other team has the ball. The Volts have to play smarter. (Box score)

Frank Garza is the day’s first big star

CBS had Frank Garza, father of Iowa’s Luka wearing a mic and it was some of the best stuff the tournament has produced all day, including the catchphrase, “You gotta let the peacock fly.” (Read more: Take it from Lefty Dreisell, Luka Garza is a rising star.)

Purdue has the easiest path to the Final Four

If Michigan State beats LSU

They probably play Duke on Sunday

Purdue might be the pride of the BIG
 
Poor Little Wolverines

Played for the National Championship last season

Embarrassed by Villanova

Made it to the Sweet Sixteen this season

Only to be really embarrassed by the Red Raiders

So Sad
