Tennessee blew a close game open only to find itself in a battle in the final moments of its Sweet 16 matchup with Creighton on Friday.
But the Vols held on late to secure an 82-75 win to advance to the Elite Eight.
The Bluejays and Vols were locked in a back-and-forth contest that Creighton led, 35-34 at halftime. Then Tennessee's defense and 3-point shooting took over. The Vols reeled off an 18-0 run to turn a 39-37 deficit into a 55-39 lead early in the second half.
