Championship Week Video Notebook: Saturday, March 12th

Today was all kinds of insane!!  In the American Conference, we saw a quadruple overtime game between Cincinnati and Connecticut, both of whom were bubble teams and really needed the win.  We got to the fourth overtime after Cincinnati hit a last second shot to go up by 3 with less than a second left, but that was followed by a three-quarter courts heave by UConn that went in to force another overtime.

Oklahoma also hit a shot from beyond mid court against West Virginia which appeared to win them the game, but it was ultimately waved off.

We saw two overtime games in the Pac Twelve as well with Utah and Oregon both hanging on to win.

Michigan won on a last second shot against Indiana, which gave them one of their biggest wins of the season, if not the biggest win, and gives their profile a huge boost.

Tulane and Memphis pulled off upsets in the American and will face each other in the semis next year with the winner being just one game away from the NCAA Tournament.

All of that, plus all of the other action in all of the other conferences as we recap a crazy Friday, preview Saturday, and give an update of our Hoops HD Selection Committee.
