I know we lost OT games in 1993 against North Carolina in the Elite 8, and in 2001 against UCLA in the second round (the game where Leonard Stokes was tackled at the end of regulation with no foul call, when he scored 39 in that game). Maybe Borzello means regular season games?

The stat was dating back to 1994, so the 1993 game would not count

And UCLA was an 8/9 seed, so they would probably not have been ranked ... but very possible NCAA games would not count either way (also, remember the epic finish in 2015 to beat Purdue in OT with Caupain's game-tying two?)

Jeff Borzello tweeted last night that, per @ESPNStatsInfo, UC has won 12 straight OT games versus ranked opponents--the longest streak in AP poll history by a wide margin--dating back to 1994.

First off, great stat.

Second off, any ideas? UC beat Memphis on Senior Day in OT and they were likely ranked, just remembered UC beating Marquette in OT in maybe Sean Kilpatrick's senior season (possibly ranked as well). Who else has UC beaten in overtime in the last 30 years (that was ranked)?


UPDATE -- cannot confirm these are AP rankings, but here is what I could find from the last 20 years on ESPN.com, meaning the other games were from Huggins-led teams:

2023-2024 #19 TCU
2016-2017 at #19 Iowa State
2014-2015 #19 San Diego State
2012-2013 #25 Marquette
2011-2012 #13 Georgetown (2OT – Big East Tournament)
2003-2004 #10 Louisville

John Newmann with ice in his veins. Both free throws were money.

Good redemption after missing a FT at the end versus Texas


Here is Newman in OT

4:44 defensive rebound
4:30 made three pointer
3:24 made layup
2:38 steal
2:02 foul (led to two made FTs)
1:22 steal
1:18 made two free throws

5 mins - 7 points (2/2 FT, 1/1 three), 1 rebound, two steals


In 2021-22, Newman had double figures 9 times, with a season-high 14 in a blowout loss at Xavier
In 2023-24, Newman has had double figures 8 times with two months to go -- including 20 versus TCU and 18 at Xavier

No one that I would put a bet down on to win the game! Here we go with DayDay

1961 - beat no. 1 osu in national championship game.

My apologies to CWM and DayDay. Coach Miller stuck with the JUCO transfer, even when he was being outplayed by a freshman. Hopefully it pays dividends the rest of the way.

It did tonight anyways. Gonna be interesting to see how miller handles it going forward.

I agree it was a great win, but as the saying goes, let us not get too high as there are more games to win. On to the next game, but the last one sure felt great after years of losing big games.

[Rufus]

I will add this, CWM has taken a lot of grief and criticism on this blog so kudos is due him for his sticking to his vision of what he's doing. Great win coach!

[Greg7173]

[John P]

WOW unbelievable win. No, the Cats aren't perfect but they are exciting to watch.
Who would have thought (pre-season) that the Cats would be hanging in there with the best of the best.
Great WIN for the Cats!

Just my two cents worth and my final say on this game. As far as storming the court, I think this team needed to see how invested the fan base is on them. So good job fans! I think CWM needed to see it too for the same reason and that we do appreciate all that he has accomplished also. #2 John Newman has earned his place in the lineup with some of the other "thugs" of bearcat lore Period #3 DayDay's making progress, albeit slow in coming but he does have ice in his veins. Skillings could be a superstar if he didn't try to be so creative on every possession. There's times when a foul is just as good as a bucket and even better at other times. # 4 I don't know if Corporateballa has had a chance to work with DayDay yet but if he has its showing if he hasn't yet DD still could use some pointers
#5 This game was a tough fought grind it out battle with a good team it should do wonders for our confidence. It seems the tentativeness is waning a bit now and they are finally learning how to play as a team. Go 'cats
