Wow. Syracuse and UConn just played a game for the ages. If you didn't see the ending it was sort of justified, because both teams battled it out for a record 6 overtimes? This was the longest game in Big East history, and the second longest in NCAA men's basketball history, longest since 1981. Wow. 4 players for each team fouled out, leaving 3 players who did not see action during regulation playing time by necessity. Wow. Before the 6th overtime Syracuse had not led in ANY overtimes, overcoming a few 6 and 4 point leads to keep on extending the game. Johnny Flynn, the starting point guard for the Orange played 67 out of a possible 70 minutes in this game, ending up with 34 points and 11 assists. Wow. This game was thought to be over after Eric Devendorf hit what seemed to be the game winning shot at the horn, but they revued it and overturned the call. Wow. The game started at 9:36 pm Eastern time and finished at 1:22 am. But there's no rest for Syracuse, because they have to play West Virginia in the semi-finals for the Big East Tournament later today at 9:05 Eastern time. Wow. Simply incredible.
