Bruce Pearl's Vols were able to overcome a lot of poor shooting nights by getting some easy transition buckets but Louisville didn't let that happen. They also didn't let Tennessee get many rebounds or allow Chris Lofton to get comfortable. You need a post player if you're going to advance far in this tournament. Just ask Duke. This may sound like an incredible stretch but last ...

Like a long lonely stream I keep runnin' towards a dream Movin' on, movin' on Unbelievable night down here in Charlotte, where good reigns and all is right with the world. Louisville just beat Tennessee in the Sweet 16 by more than it beat Boise State in the first round. This is awesome. More tomorrow.

It just wasn’t Tennessee’s night. After all, when your team shoots 34% from the floor, you stand little chance of winning a ballgame; Thursday night’s contest against Louisville validated that point. Louisville coach Rick Pitino utilized different defenses, and the end result was a resounding, 79-60 win over Tennessee in the NCAA East Regional semifinal at Charlotte ...

The UNC men have an opponent for Saturday, as Louisville easily handled Tennessee 79-60. The UNC women, of course, knew Tuesday who they'd be playing on Saturday - Louisville. UNC's track and field team will be in Raleigh for the Raleigh Relays that day. Also competing in the meet? Louisville. The baseball team? They play N.C. State. Didn't get the memo, I guess.

Tennessee was the SEC's brightest hope for the conference's fourth Final Four berth in three years. Those hopes were dashed for good by the Louisville Cardinals, whose strong play was the counterpoint to the Vols' terrible performance in their Sweet 16 matchup. What went right for Pearl's Volunteers? Not much. When the Vols weren't missing layups or fruitlessly challenging the Cardinals' ...

Tennessee/Louisville Outlook This might be the only regional final where the two coaches outshine their respective teams. On one side, it’s Bruce Pearl and his never-ending quest of self-promotion (albeit, for the benefit of his team) and on the other, there stand Rick Pitino, the apple of the eye for all University of Kentucky fans. I’m hesitant to guess how much these two ...

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 9:30 this evening, the Louisville Cardinals will tip off against the Tennessee Volunteers for a chance at the Elite Eight.

Tennessee says yes. Despite wearing a protective boot on his left foot on Monday and missing practice on Tuesday, Chris Lofton will be good-to-go come Thursday when Tennessee meets Louisville in an East Regional semifinal game in Charlotte. So say the Vols. In fact, Louisville coach Rick Pitino joked Thursday that Lofton was probably "visiting Gisele," referencing New England Patriots ...

Chris Lofton, my favorite player in the entire nation, who has led my Tennessee Volunteers to where they are today, may be injured . “May.” Nothing certain. Breathe. Don’t panic. Tennessee guard and leading scorer Chris Lofton has a minor leg injury but is expected to play Thursday against Louisville. Team spokesman Craig Pinkerton says Lofton wore a walking boot on ...

Here’s some tournament news that might make the Losers With Socks dudes upset: apparently, shooting wunderkind Chris Lofton slightly injured one of his legs and has been wearing a walking boot because of it. Now, being in Tennessee, wearing boots might seem like normal behavior, but remember, Lofton is supposed to be getting ready for a massive game against the Louisville Cardinals . ...

For the second time in three days, local fans of Western Kentucky and Louisville will likely not see their teams play Sunday unless they have a satellite package from DirecTV or can log on to the internet.
