5. Vols defeat Butler 76-71 in overtime (2008; Round of 32)
With Brad Stevens and Butler standing in the Vols’ way of another Sweet 16 appearance, the Vols found a way to grind out an overtime victory against the Bulldogs in the Round of 32 in 2008. The Bulldogs erased a big UT lead in this one and wouldn’t let the Vols get up and down the court the way they liked to. But with Tennessee’s guards having a relatively quiet night, Wayne Chism (16 points) stepped up and helped the Vols find a way to survive and advance.
