It took until the very end, but the Tennessee Volunteers survived a major test.
The second-seeded Vols outlasted the seventh-seeded Texas Longhorns 62-58 in the second round of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.
The Volunteers held off a late push from the Longhorns and avoided the upset at the hands of a future conference rival. Jonas Aidoo had 11 points, four rebounds and three assists for Tennessee, and Tobe Awaka had 10 points and five rebounds.
However, the story for Tennessee, as it has for much of the season, was the play of first-team All-American Dalton Knecht.
