NCAA Tournament East Region Scores: #8 Oklahoma State Cowboys Get Late Bucket to Drop #9 Tennessee Volunteers

Marshall Moses scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Terrel Harris added 15 points and 4 boards and Byron Eaton dished out 7 assists and scored 20 points including a three-point play with eight seconds left on the clock to lift the #8 Oklahoma State Cowboys past the #9 Tennessee Volunteers 77-75 on Friday to advance to the second round of the East Region.

The two teams traded leads throughout much of the first half until the Volunteers went on a 10-2 run to move in front 32-25 with 6:33 left in the half but the Cowboys answered as they closed the frame with a 15-2 run to head into the break leading 38-34.

Oklahoma State pushed their lead to eight early in the second but couldn’t put the Volunteers away and when Wayne Chism buried a three-pointer with 11:38 left in the game Tennessee had a 54-51 lead. The two teams traded the lead over the next ten minutes and with 47 seconds left in the game Eaton buried a jumper that put the Cowboys in front 74-72. Tennessee responded as Tyler Smith converted a three-point play to put the Vols in front 75-74 with 24 seconds left but Eaton completed a three-point play of his own as he was fouled on a layup and Tyler Smith’s last second three-point attempt fell short.

The Cowboys shot 56 percent from the floor while the Vols hit 42 percent.
