Tennessee in Sweet 16 Friday Night on 790 AM The Bet

Sunday was everything you want in March: chaos, clutch shots, and a bracket that’s officially busted as the Sweet 16 is now set.

Let’s start with Tennessee, because that’s the headline around here. The Vols took care of business in a tough 79-72 win over Virginia, punching their ticket to a fourth straight Sweet 16. Ja’Kobi Gillespie led the way with 21 points, and Tennessee made the plays late—free throws, defensive stops, composure. It wasn’t perfect, but it was exactly what March requires: survive and advance. Now it’s Iowa State next, a team that just ran Kentucky off the floor, so that matchup is going to be a heavyweight fight.

Across the bracket, Sunday delivered one of the biggest moments of the tournament. Iowa knocked off No. 1 Florida 73-72 on a last-second three, sending the defending champs home and blowing up just about every bracket in the country.

Iowa State looked dominant in its win over Kentucky, Purdue advanced behind a big performance from Fletcher Loyer, and Texas continued its run into the Sweet 16.

Bottom line, blue bloods are still standing, but there’s enough chaos to make this thing wide open.

And Tennessee? Right in the middle of it.

Sweet 16 action is set, and Tennessee takes on Iowa State Friday night on 790 AM The Bet here in Memphis.
