Vols Hang On

NEWARK, N.J. -- With Tennessee leading 71-70, JaJuan Smith went to the line for two shots and hit both with 13.2 seconds to play.

Alex Ruoff who had just hit a three pointer the last possession, missed a three pointer short, the Vols grabbed the rebound and JaJuan Smith went back to the line with 3.0 seconds to play.

After missing the first, Smith made the second to ice it, before WVU hit a basket at the end to make the final score 74-72.

Tennessee moves on to face Texas in the championship game, while West Virginia will take on New Mexico State at 4:30pm tomorrow in the consolation game. Be back with more in a little.
