I don’t normally post links to other sites – you should be able to find these on all the major sports sites.

But I don’t think I have seen two crazier moments.

First, Cincinnati and Connecticut obviously knew they were both on the bubble – because they sure put on a show.   Late in the third overtime, Cincinnati hit a three pointer which looked like it gave them a 3 point victory.  But the Huskies inbound the ball and hit a 3/4 court shot to send the game to a fourth overtime – where they ended up prevailing.

Then, there was the nightcap of the Big 12 semifinals.  West Virginia makes a great defensive play at the end with a 1 point lead with just 1.8 seconds left.   After hitting a free throw to extend the lead to 2, Oklahoma inbounds the ball to their star, Buddy Hield, who dribbles up to half court and lets it fly, making the half court prayer.   But after video review, the ball is found to be barely in his hand when the clock struck 0, and so the miracle winning shot is taken away and West Virginia continues on to play Kansas for the title.

Just crazy – if this is anything as a sign of things to come in the tournament, it is going to be an awesome March!
