Kentucky’s Otega Oweh delivered the shot of the year, and Utah State delivered the biggest bracket-busting upset of the NCAA tournament on Friday.
Oweh raced downcourt and fired a deep, last-second three-pointer from near midcourt to tie things up 73–73 with Santa Clara and force overtime. The No. 7 seed Wildcats then beat the No. 10 seed Broncos in overtime, 89–84, to advance in the Midwest Region.
