Absolutely wild Kentucky-Santa Clara March Madness game has fans going berserk

March Madness is the greatest event in sports. There is nothing like the thrill of watching a mid-major team on the verge of upsetting a powerhouse, or in this case, a Blue Blood of the sport. The end of regulation between Santa Clara and Kentucky is one of the craziest finishes you will see this weekend.

Kentucky tied the game twice in 20 seconds as they evened the score at 70 with a bucket in the paint the first time. Santa Clara thought they had the game won when Allen Graves hit a three-pointer with two seconds left. Then in shocking fashion, Otega Oweh drilled a 32-foot deep three-pointer to tie the game at the buzzer to send the game to overtime.

This game would go Kentucky’s way in the end. They dominated Santa Clara in overtime and would win 89-84. The Broncos were two seconds away from advancing to the Round of 32; instead, the Wildcats continue their tradition of winning in March. The Mark Pope era is off to a rough start, but this is, without a doubt, a massive win for the program.

The reactions to this regulation ending are incredible.
