DETROIT (AP) — Dalton Knecht had 24 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals, and Tennessee moved within a victory of its first trip to the Final Four, beating Creighton 82-75 in a Midwest Region semifinal on Friday night. When Tennessee lost last year in the regional semifinals for the second straight season, Knecht was at Northern Colorado and Zeigler was out with a torn knee ligament. The Bluejays advanced to the second weekend of the tournament with a rout of Akron and a double-overtime win over Oregon. Tennessee: Barnes had his team prepared and made sound adjustments, but he needs another win to quiet his critics. UP NEXTThe Vols will play in front of a pro-Boilermakers crowd when Purdue tries to make its first Final Four since 1980.

In two short weeks last March, Saint Peter’s went from an unknown commuter school in Jersey City, N.J., to one of the greatest Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history. 15 seed Peacocks kicked off the tournament with a massive upset over No. 2 seed Kentucky and then toppled No. 3 Purdue on a historic romp that ended a game short of the Final Four. More than half of the players, including all five starters, took advantage of looser transfer rules in college sports to bolt for other programs that seemed to offer better opportunities.
PricewaterhouseCoopers and Saint Peter’s University are testing a pilot program that substitutes a year of work for the traditional fifth year of college coursework. Accounting, a profession focused on numbers, is vexed by this one: the 150 college credit hours required to become a certified public accountant. The shortage of accountants in the U.S. has firms boosting salaries and sending work abroad. The cost of accounting work has been rising and some firms are turning away audit work because they can’t find enough CPAs. Efforts to recruit more students into the field have become a near-constant conversation now nationwide among CPAs and industry groups.
