PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Ohio coach John Groce likes to use numbers to prepare his team and analyze opponents. But the numbers don't look good for the Bobcats heading into their second-round NCAA game against Tennessee.

Ohio is a No. 14 seed, the lowest-seeded team to win on a first day full of upsets in the tournament. Only two No. 14 seeds have advanced to the round of 16 since the NCAAs expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl says he doesn't care what the Bobcats' seed is. He saw Ohio dismantle Georgetown in the first round -- by 14 points.

The winner of Saturday's game advances to the Midwest Regional semifinals next week in St. Louis.
