Forget those season-long struggles from the free throw line. The Tigers are making them when it counts, including Antonio Anderson's two with 3.1 seconds left tonight 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 from the line 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 straight 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.

Texas A&M (27-7), three seasons 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 but was 6-of-17 from the field in his final game for the Aggies.
