COLUMBUS, OHIO—Admiral Schofield ran around the court in sheer joy, waving a March Madness towel after Tennessee made it back to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2016. Iowa’s Tyler Cook can’t believe his team failed to complete its comeback during their 83-77 overtime loss to the Tennessee Volunteers. Iowa battled back from a 44-19 deficit to force the tournament’s first overtime game, but came up short. The biggest NCAA Tournament comeback? “The way we finished the game, we can’t have that.” Tenth-seeded Iowa (23-12) nearly pulled off another historic comeback, sending it overtime tied at 71-71 — the first overtime game in this year’s tournament.
