CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dalton Knecht scored 18 points and made four free throws in the final 8.8 seconds as Tennessee topped Texas 62-58 to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. Second-seeded Tennessee will play the winner of the game between No. 11 Oregon and No. 3 Creighton. Jonas Aidoo had 11 points and Tobe Awaka added 10 for the Volunteers, helping coach Rick Barnes beat the team he coached for 17 seasons. The Vols have reached the Sweet 16 three times in nine seasons under Barnes, but have yet to advance out of that round in that stretch. Tyrese Hunter and Chendall Weaver each had 13 points for seventh-seeded Texas.
