Perhaps more to come later. In other news, the Big East tournament has not disappointed. Syracuse and UConn went to 6 Overtimes yesterday. SIX! Frankly, there's just not enough of this in sports today. In hockey, they stop playing after an OT and go to a shoot out. In the NFL, it's just a tie (but don't tell Donovan McNabb). NCAA football does a little better, but once you get to 3 OTS you've got to go for two. Basketball's got it right here. If they're still tied, just let em keep playing. It's that simple. No new format, no new rules, just keep going, and we'll check back in 5 minutes to see where you're at. A couple tennis tournaments do this too by not having 5th set tiebreakers. What happens is great matches that will be remembered for a very long time. Nadal/Federer Wimbledon 2008 is a prime example. And now UConn Syracuse BET2009. If they're still tied, just let em play.
