DALLAS (AP) Rick Barnes is now winning NCAA Tournament games with "Rocky Top" in Texas. With the Tennessee coach back in familiar territory, Admiral Schofield had 15 points and 12 rebounds as the Volunteers opened their first NCAA under Barnes with a 73-47 win over Wright State on Thursday. "The biggest thing is we came out and did what we said we were going to do, try to run them out of their offense, and against a great team," Schofield said. MORE | |
