Ryan Odom strives for another shining moment as Virginia faces Tennessee

PHILADELPHIA -- Ryan Odom engineered a massive one-year turnaround at Virginia. Seven years removed from the program's only national title, Odom has his players visualizing their own shining moment.

The third-seeded Cavaliers are on the verge of the Sweet 16 but first must handle Ja'Kobi Gillespie and sixth-seeded Tennessee in a Midwest Region second-round matchup on Sunday.

Virginia (30-5) officially doubled its win total from last season when it pulled out an 82-73 win over Wright State in Friday's opener.
