RALEIGH, N.C. —
Tennessee will play either third-seeded North Carolina State or No. 14 seed Chattanooga on Monday for a spot in the Sweet 16 in Portland, Oregon. “For us to be able to get an easy win, that’s a big deal,” Harper said. “You’re watching the NCAA Tournament and you’re seeing upsets, and we didn’t want to be on that end of it.”
Tennessee held a 44-28 halftime lead, holding the Phoenix without a point for the last 5:53 of the half while scoring the final 11 points. The Vols scored 18 points in the first five minutes of the third quarter, stretching their lead to 62-37.
