The Orange and the Huskies thrilled a late-night crowd at Madison Square Garden with a 3-hour, 46-minute game for the ages in the tournament quarterfinals. It nearly ended in regulation on a three-pointer by Syracuse's Eric Devendorf, but officials correctly ruled the ball was still in his hands when the clock expired. The Orange didn't grab their first lead of any extra session until the sixth and final overtime, when they finally pulled away to win the longest game in conference history. Before the final buzzer at 1:22 a.m., eight players had fouled out and six had recorded double-doubles.
