Overtime Blues

[FurdTurgason]

Has any program in college basketball had more heartbreaking overtime losses than UK? Think about it....

1976 vs. Indiana (regular season)
1983 vs. Louisville
1992 vs Duke
1993 vs Michigan
1997 vs Arizona
2005 vs Michigan St
2019 vs Auburn

It is crazy how many OT games we have played in the NCAA Tournament (couple really good wins in the late 90's vs Stanford and KU). Dating back to 1985, when they expanded the tournament to 64, we have played in 9 OT games...or 27% of the tournaments we played in had an OT game.

As a comparison with other schools during that time:

UNC - 4 OT games
Duke - 3 OT games
Kansas - 6 OT games
