COLUMBUS, Ohio _ Not this again. A year and a week after having their season ended in the Round of 32, the Tennessee Volunteers were on the verge of another heartbreak. This one would have been worse.
Last year's one-point loss to Loyola-Chicago could be written off to magic dust and Cinderella destiny. This time, it would have been their own darned fault. They let a 25-point first-half lead over Iowa slip away and had to endure overtime. The ending was much sweeter this time, an 83-77 win.
"I feel like a fifth grader who just ate Skittles," said Grant Williams, who scored six points and passed for the other three as Tennessee opened the extra session with a 9-0 burst that never allowed the Hawkeyes back in.
