Last night alone there were 2 OT games. First was Louisville and Syracuse (who they seem to be on a buzzer beating steak as of late) and then Kanas and West Virginia. 2 pretty decent size games and match ups. Did you catch this Louisville slam yet?
Number 8 squad in the nation right there. Syracuse put up a fight though. Gillon is an animal and comes through clutch to tie it up at the end with a monstrous 3. Louisville chokes on foul shots (eye roll) and OT it goes. Louisville took it away in OT, though. Syracuse just couldn't get their offense together to put points on the board. All while Louisville's Ryan McMahon played the last 5 mins like it was his last. Put up 7 point and a few clutch free throws. Louisville wins by 4.Even the Syracuse bench knew this alley-oop was dirty. 💯 pic.twitter.com/Qu3IPNQ9cD— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) February 14, 2017
Then the later game: top ranked Kansas and West Virginia. My first comment is the Kansas crowd... holy cow. Was every student there?! Big crowd turnout always results in a fantastic game. Kansas was constantly playing catch up the whole game. You gotta check out the insane deep 3 from WV going into half time. I mean common! But here is a video recap of the insane come back!!The little guy, Ryan McMahon!! pic.twitter.com/2TorrWXxWb— Basketball Society (@BBallSociety_) February 14, 2017

With close to 2 mins left you would have thought WV had in the bag - up by over 10 points and leading for majority of the game. I mean same goes for the Syracuse's late (attempted) comeback too. Not exactly sure what they're putting in the Gatorade right now!!! The comeback juice or something! Then Kansas just pounded in 3 after 3 and won by 4, 84 -80.

There is nothing like the last 2 mins in college basketball right now. It's what makes me favorite this more than the NBA (sorry).
