The NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 will be contested Thursday and Friday. No. 6 seed Tennessee (24-11) advanced to the Sweet 16 and will face No. 2 seed Iowa State (29-7).
A date, tipoff time and TV have been announced for the matchup between the Vols and Cyclones.
Tennessee versus Iowa State will be contested Friday at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Tipoff is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. EDT and will be televised by TBS/truTV.
"I'm really proud of these guys," Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said after defeating Virginia in the second round. "We started the season with a lot of new guys, I think 11 new people on our team, and that's where it is today I guess in college basketball. They've worked hard for us from the get-go.
"Nate (Ament), it's been hard because he's worked so hard to come down the stretch and have the injury, and he certainly had a hard time the other night, but he moved better this morning. We saw that. I think he turned it. I know the first time he cut through the lane today, I saw it. He didn't do anything, but I saw it on his face. He's such a tough kid. He fought through it today and really gave us, I thought, a big lift."
