First round: SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Dan Muller wormed inside for a layup with 1.8 seconds left in overtime Thursday night, giving Illinois State an 82-81 victory
over Tennessee in a brutal, fast-paced NCAA West Regional duel.
When Tennessee's Vegas Davis missed a desperation heave at the buzzer,
Muller turned and bellowed to celebrate the victory in a draining game that
seesawed throughout the second half and overtime.
Illinois State, led by Rico Hill's 22 points, LeRoy Watkins' 18 and Steve
Hansell's 16, trailed most of the first half but patiently worked back to a
66-57 lead in the second half.
