NCAA: Tennessee beats Ohio 83-68

(AP) - Ohio finally ran out of energy, time, magic. After stunning third-seeded Georgetown and playing tough for about 30 minutes Saturday, Tennessee finally put the Bobcats away with a late surge in an 83-68 victory.

The Vols advance to play Georgia Tech or Ohio State in St. Louis next week.

Tommy Freeman ended up with 23 points for Ohio, while the Vols got 18 points from J.P. Prince and 17 from backcourt mate Scotty Hopson.

Baylor and Old Dominion have tipped off for the right to play in Houston next week. The Bears outlasted Sam Houston State for its first NCAA tournament win in 60 years — a big milestone for a program that only a few years ago was banned from playing non-conference games as part of NCAA penalties for numerous violations under former coach Dave Bliss.

Old Dominion shut down Notre Dame's Luke Harangody in its victory Thursday, and in a tournament with plenty of upsets already, the thought of a double-digit seed reaching the round of 16 isn't far fetched anymore.

Just ask Saint Mary's.
