CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- In one week, No. 7 Tennessee has followed one of the most impressive wins of the college basketball season with two clunkers full of missed shots and late-game breakdowns.The woes allowed struggling Charlotte to give first-year coach Alan Major his first signature win.
Three days after top scorer Shamari Spears was kicked off the team, Charlotte dressed eight scholarship players and closed on a 7-0 run, with Derrio Green feeding an open Phil Jones for the go-ahead layup with 7.4 seconds left in a stunning 49-48 victory Friday night over the sputtering Volunteers.
"It takes a big-time effort to beat teams like that," said Major, a former Ohio State assistant. "I could not be prouder of this group of guys in that locker room."
