What a freakin’ day. The NCAA Tournament isn’t even 12 hours long, and already we need a nap. In an ugly game where Purdue always seemed to lead, Cincinnati forced overtime after Purdue’s Jon Octeus failed to convert the first of two shots at the stripe with seven-seconds left.
Trailing 59-57, Troy Caupain played hero to force overtime right as the red light flashed, continuing a day of March miracles.
And yes, Cincinnati just won it in OT, 66-65.
Damn. We need a drink, or a dozen.
