Tennessee has just held on to defeat Iowa 83-77 in overtime to advance to the Sweet 16.
The Volunteers led by as many as 25 points in the first half, but Iowa stormed back to tie it late.
The win wasn’t without controversy, however. Many fans felt like Grant Williams got away with a walk on this play that resulted in a huge three-pointer in overtime:

With Tennessee advancing, the Southeastern Conference now has four teams in the Sweet 16: Tennessee, Kentucky, LSU and Auburn.
This is only the third time ever that the SEC has had four times in the Sweet 16:
Vols will hold on
