Pitarresi: I watched it all1

I didn’t think Syracuse could beat Connecticut in the Big East tournament Thursday.

 

It’s 12:50 a.m. Friday, and I still don’t know as the teams start the fifth overtime of an epic battle.

 

It’s a wildly exciting, crazy game, but a sloppy one that is getting sloppier as the teams stumble in exhaustion. It is simply a battle of wills now, and you almost have to feel sorry for whoever wins, because what can they have left to play West Virginia later today?

 

Now we’re in the sixth OT, it appears as if SU will win – they’re up six with a little over two minutes to play – but I’m not counting on anything.

 

And I am totally exhausted, and I haven’t played a minute!

 

Now it’s over – SU wins 127-117 in six overtimes!

 

Great, great, memorable stuff in any case. Who is going to forget this game?
