One of the best ever NCAA games I have ever watched.
Syracuse upset #4 Uconn in 6 OT, 127-117

Wow.
Good write up of it here. I think there's some footage there too (can't check it at work).
A few amazing facts from the game:
There were the numbers, from the 3 hours, 46 minutes it took to play the game that ended at 1:22 a.m., to the combined 244 points, 102 of which came after the regulation buzzer, to the eight players who fouled out, to the six who registered double-doubles.
And that wasn't nearly all. Just ask Syracuse point guard Jonny Flynn, who had 34 points and 11 assists in a game-high 67 minutes, only 3 fewer than were played.
Andy Rautins hit a 3-pointer 10 seconds into the sixth overtime, giving the Orange their first lead since regulation.
Connecticut's Kemba Walker, one of the smallest players on the court, grabbed a loose rebound and laid it in with 1.1 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 71. After a Syracuse timeout, Harris ran the baseline and threw an inbounds pass past midcourt that was deflected by Connecticut's Gavin Edwards to Devendorf, who let a shot go from about 28 feet just as the red lights around the backboard went off.
It went in, and Devendorf jumped up on the courtside press table, pounding his chest and screaming as his teammates reached up and pulled him down to the court.

That ESPN link you provided has video highlights - the shot by Devendorf that didn't count is pretty amazing.

was fortunate enough to watch it live on television,
Devendorfs shot just missed out on counting, barely,
Rautins shot was a heart stopper,
incredibly Harris had many opportunities to put the game away and should of, but the UCON frontcourt fouled out first in this war of attrition allowing the Orangemen to triumph.

Another amazing agme for Syracuse today...they managed to back up the 6 OT win ver Uconn by defeating West Virginia in just the one OT today!

The Orange were more efficient against UConn, another amazing shot by Devendorf, this time from the backcourt.
