KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Rick Barnes once took a team to watch a rugby match in Australia and loved what he saw.

Barnes says good, hard basketball is something nice to watch. His fourth-seeded Vols will play No. 9 seed FAU on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden in a East Region semifinal.
