UConn vs Syracuse Tonight..But Who Cannot Bring up the 6OTs?

UConn Huskies vs Syracuse Orangemen are probably one of the biggest rival games in NCAA basketball, along with Duke Blue Devils vs North Carolina Tarheels.  In 2009, I dont think anyone was expecting the rival game to go that far; literally.

A regular college game has two halfs, 20 minutes each, total of 40 minutes of playing time. In 2009, UConn & Syracuse played for a total of 3 hours & 46 minutes.  The game ended at 1:22AM, 244 points made combined (final score being 127-117), 209 attemped FGs & 58 attempted three-point shots.  Eight fouled out players combined, but of course you would expect that with playing nearly 4 hours of basketball.

This 6 overtime game was the LONGEST in Big East history!  Wouldnt be the first time however UConn has made history:
    -1st college ever to have the mens and womens basketball team win the NCAA Championship in the same year
    -UCONNs women basketball team hasthe  longest winning streak in NCAA basketball history (90 games)

So tonight is a big rival game but I personally dont think the Huskies & Orangemen themselves can beat that game.  And with this crazy icey weather, I wouldnt think they would want to stay out until 1:30AM again.

Tune in to the rival game tonight at 7pm! Go Huskies!!!!!
