A rocky conference season for Tennessee ended with two wins over Florida and a narrow loss to Alabama in the SEC Tournament semifinals. After a week off, Tennessee was able to stop the bleeding a bit a pick up two resume wins to move back onto the five-seed line. They nearly did more than that on Saturday, but were unable to hold on against the Crimson Tide.
Their reward? The Pac-12 Tournament champions — the Oregon State Beavers.
Oregon State ran through UCLA, Oregon and Colorado on their way to cutting down the nets on Saturday, stealing a bubble spot with an automatic bid.
