UConn-Cincinnati was a do or die game for both teams, but especially Connecticut. And in the 3rd overtime, destiny was on the Huskies side as a half court prayer to tie the game was answered to send it into the 4th OT, where UConn went on to win. Kevin Ollie’s squad moves into the field and Cincy falls into a First Four game.
