Syracuse Beats UConn

End of Regulation

Eric Devendorf hit a shot at the buzzer -- then jumped on the scorer's table thinking Syracuse won 74-71. The referee said the shot hit after the buzzer, thus beginning the six-overtime ending to one of the greatest Big East tournament games.

First Overtime

Jonny Flynn sent a dish to teammate Rick Jackson to tie the game with 4.7 seconds left. UConn's Kemba Walker tried a long three; it missed to send the game into the second overtime.

Second Overtime

Kemba Walker missed a game-winner, then Stanley Robinson got the rebound and missed, too. Walker missed an off-balance three and the game went into a third overtime.

Third Overtime

Andy Rautins swished a three after the Huskies missed three free throws, sending the game into a fourth overtime.

Fourth Overtime

Paul Harris had a chance to win it all, but his drive to the hoop was blocked by UConn's Gavin Edwards

Fifth Overtime

Jonny Flynn swished two clutch free throws to tie. An exhausted Kemba Walker, pictured, missed another game-winner as the game moved into a sixth OT.

Sixth Overtime

With Hasheem Thabeet, A.J. Price and Stanley Robinson on the sidelines, Syracuse finally pulled away. When the final buzzer sounded, it was 1:22 a.m. Friday.

Celebration

The game put reserves like Justin Thomas, pictured, on the floor at the Garden in a clutch game -- but who will a tired Syracuse put on the floor against West Virginia tonight?
