(8) Oklahoma State 77, (9) Tennessee 75
Senior guard Byron Eaton charged through the lane and delivered an off-balance layup — and drew a foul — to give No. 8 Oklahoma State a 77-75 win against No. 9 Tennessee. Neither team led by more than three points in the final eight minutes in one of the most tightly contested games of the NCAA Tournament so far. Eaton led the Cowboys with 20 points and six assists despite playing in foul trouble much of the game. Sophomore forward Marshall Moses had a double-double for the Cowboys with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
