SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Visualize this: The Memphis Tigers are one win away from the NCAA Final Four.

Forget those season-long struggles from the free throw line. The Tigers are making them when it counts, with Antonio Anderson hitting two with 3.1 seconds left Thursday night for a 65-64 victory over Texas A&M in the NCAA South Regional semifinal.

Anderson came in shooting 64 percent from the free throw line and was 1-for-4 when he went to the line after being fouled at the end of a wild sequence in which the Tigers missed three quick shots.

The Tigers have been one of the nation’s worst free throw-shooting teams all season. They were so bad that coach John Calipari quit having them shoot in postseason practice and told his players to visualize making them instead.

Memphis (33-3) stretched its winning streak to 25 games and advanced to a regional final for the second straight year. The Tigers, who last went to the Final Four in 1985, will play Ohio State on Saturday for a berth in the Final Four.

Texas A&M (27-7), three seasons with coach Billy Gillispie removed from an 0-16 record in the Big 12, had one final chance, but Dominique Kirk’s shot from just inside half-court was woefully short.

Kirk took the final shot instead of “Captain Clutch,” senior Acie Law, who had 13 points. He was only 6-of-17 from the field in his final game for the Aggies – and blew a layup with just under a minute left after he took a long inbound pass.

That was the last good shot the Aggies got.

Texas A&M was unable to take advantage of a partisan crowd, the stands in the Alamodome filled mostly with maroon-clad fans providing a football-like atmosphere and waiting to celebrate another big victory.

Instead, it was the small contingency of fans in blue behind the Memphis bench – including former Tigers star Penny Hardaway – who were cheering at the end.

Ohio St. 85, Tennessee 84

Maybe now folks will realize there’s more to Ohio State than Greg Oden.

The big man finally looked like a freshman, getting mired in foul trouble as the top-seeded Buckeyes fell behind by 20 points before halftime. But senior Ron Lewis and fellow freshman Mike Conley bailed Oden out and lifted Ohio State past Tennessee, 85-84.

Lewis scored 25 points, and Conley had nine of his 17 from the foul line, including the winner with 6.5 seconds left.

But Conley missed a second shot, giving Tennessee one last chance. Ramar Smith grabbed the rebound and went all the way to the rim with Conley defending him. They went up together and time expired with his ball in the air.

Then it was Oden to the rescue, swatting the ball away.

into the Volunteers’ cheerleaders and dropping back to earth himself with his biggest smile of the night, while Smith planted himself facedown in front of the Tennessee bench.
