Tennessee and Texas are locked in a battle As Tennessee has relentlessly pressured the Longhorns, the volume has in tandem progressively gone up here at Legacy Arena in Alabama. The Tennessee fans in the crowd have vocally appreciated their team’s defense, and it’s paying dividends at the moment. Tied at 50 heading into the fourth quarter, and it truly feels like anyone’s game here.

5 Ole Miss 62 Flashback to Friday: LSU holds on against NC State Louisiana State is once again heading to the Elite Eight after holding off North Carolina State in a tough Sweet 16 showdown in Spokane, Washington. LSU and NC State traded leads throughout the second half and it all came down to the final seconds. LSU took the lead on a Mikaylah Williams layup with 1:07 to go and then added to it on two free throws from Sa’Myah Smith with 44 seconds to play.
NC State missed a tying jumper but forced a turnover on the next possession to have another chance to tie the game. But an offensive foul on Maddie Cox gave the ball back to LSU with 17 seconds to play. NC State quickly fouled and from there it was a matter of free throws.
Williams made two to build the lead to five. The final margin of victory would be seven after two more free throws from Smith, pacing LSU to a 10-0 run to close the game. Aneesah Morrow led all scorers with 30 points, Smith added 21 and Williams contributed another 19.

After dropping their two regular season meetings against the Wildcats, Tennessee overcame early shooting struggles to dominate Kentucky as the two rivals squared off in the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The Volunteers’ trio of Zakai Zeigler, Chaz Lanier, and Jordan Gainey lit up the Wildcats all night, combining to score 51 of the team’s 78 points.
Flashback to Friday: Michigan State books Elite Eight spot with grinding win over Ole Miss Michigan State survived a scare by Ole Miss, winning 73-70 to advance to the program’s first Elite Eight since 2019. It took a while but the Spartans found their offensive rhythm in the second half, outscoring the Rebels 42-37 in the second half. The Spartans were led by star freshman Jase Richardson’s 20 points and six rebounds and Coen Carr’s 15 points.
An emotional Tom Izzo was excited about the win but admitted his team “didn’t play very good” while giving credit to Ole Miss. “Give these guys credit, bounced back in the second half,” Izzo told the CBS broadcast. “Played better.
I didn’t think we were great but that is a hell of a team we played. Toughest team I’ve played in years.” Senior Rebels guard Sean Pedulla scored a game-high 24 points.
