NEWARK, N.J. -- This isn't exactly the way that he had drawn it up, but I guess coach Bruce Pearl will take it. Chris Lofton just nailed a three-pointer, only his second of the night, giving Tennessee a 65-60 lead with 2:47 left.

On the ensuing possession, WVU missed two threes, and Lofton was able to grab the long rebound on the last, giving Tennessee the ball with the under 4 minute timeout and a five point lead.
