OMAHA, Neb. - If ever a college basketball game deserved five more minutes, it was this one.
And to top off a string of unbelievable upsets, this increasingly unforgettable NCAA tournament finally delivered a classic heavyweight thriller as well on Sunday.
Kansas 85, Duke 81.
"I'm very proud to be part of the game," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "An epic game. One of the best, if not the best, I've ever been a part of."
Grayson Allen's almost-game-winner as regulation expired rolled off the backboard, around the rim and out, paving the way for the Jayhawks to pull away from Duke in overtime and punch their ticket to the Final Four in San Antonio.
