Pure March Madness chaos unfolded in St. Louis on Friday afternoon betweenKentuckyand Santa Clara, and we are all grateful for the madness.
While we've seen plenty of fantastic finishes during the NCAA Tournament, I don't know if we'll see one like we all witnessed over the final minute of regulation in this one.
As both teams traded punches for nearly 40 minutes, the final ten seconds will be remembered.
First, it was Allen Graves of Santa Clara who found himself outside the arc for what many thought would be the game winner that sent them to the round of 32.
But, Kentucky wasn’t done just yet. With the clock ticking down to zero, it was Oweh Otega who drained the 40-footer to send this one into overtime in what was one of the craziest sequences in recent memory.
Oh, and Otega Owef finished with 35 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, which hasn't been done since Larry Bird in 1979.
Though, one of the questions coming out of this one is whether the officials should have awarded Santa Clara a timeout following the Allen Graves 3-point shot. As you can tell by the video below, head coach Herb Sendek was trying to call a timeout, but this official was not paying attention to him.
This led to Otega Oweh driving the court, and hitting the game-tying basket that sent this one to overtime.
I would say Santa Clara has an obvious gripe over this one.
Yea, good luck topping that one, as the two teams continued trading punches in overtime to the delight of fans watching on television, and in St. Louis.
