ST. LOUIS — Kentucky looked destined for a first-round exit in this year’s NCAA men’s tournament. Then Otega Oweh intervened.
Moments after Santa Clara appeared to hit the game winner, Oweh rumbled up the sideline and launched a midcourt heave that banked through the net as time expired, forcing overtime in the first-round matchup. That was the lifeline the Wildcats needed in an 89-84 victory over the 10-seed Broncos.
