Tennessee nipped by Michigan State, 70-69
The Tennessee Volunteers saw their dream season come to an end in a 70-69 loss to the Michigan State Spartans.
In a contest that was closely contested the entire way, a Volunteers foul with just seconds remaining allowed the Spartans to knock home the game-winning free throw.
J.P. Prince still had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but missed horribly on a half-court attempt.
The Volunteers had never been to the Elite Eight before, so it was certainly a major step forward for their basketball program.
At the same time, such an accomplishment means little just moments after such a devastating defeat.
