No. 6 seed Tennessee Volunteers advanced to their third straight Elite Eight after a 76-62 Sweet 16 upset over No. 2 Iowa State Cyclones in Chicago, powered by Nate Ament's 18 points despite his ongoing ankle injury that limited him earlier in March Madness. Iowa State's trader sentiment hinged on star forward Joshua Jefferson's game-time decision status from a first-round ankle sprain against Tennessee State—he played limited minutes but couldn't stem the tide amid the absence of Mason Williams (out) and Cade Phillips for Tennessee. Both squads rode hot tournament streaks, with the Vols upsetting No. 3 Virginia and the Cyclones handling Kentucky without full Jefferson health, highlighting defensive matchups and depth as pivotal in this neutral-site clash toward potential Midwest Regional final rematches.
