It was a close call for most of the game, but Ohio State rallied to beat Tennessee and advance to the Elite Eight:
SAN ANTONIO, March 22 — He was there when it mattered most, flying from nowhere to block the game-winning shot. Greg Oden watched much of the game from the bench, but with one swing of his condor-wing right arm he kept top-seeded Ohio State alive.
After a wild first half that saw Ohio State trail by 20 points, Oden blocked the driving layup of Ramar Smith at the end of regulation, leaping over a teammate to do so, to seal Ohio State’s 85-84 victory over fifth-seeded Tennessee.
The Buckeyes, who trailed by 17 at the half, will play Memphis on Saturday afternoon.
Go Buckeyes !
