Saturday Sports Update
Top: March Madness has officially arrived. Friday was filled with memorable moments on the college hardwood, but likely none more memorable than the American Athletic Conference quarterfinal between UConn and Cincinnati. The game was tied 85-85 with time running down in the 3rd overtime. Cincinnati's Kevin Johnson made what looked to be the game-winning three-pointer with 0.8 seconds left. But the Huskies' Jalen Adams had other ideas. Watch the clip above and see for yourself!

Bottom right: While a couple of lesser known college players pulled off some stunning heroics on Friday, one of the best players in the country came tantalizingly close to pulling off one of his own. Oklahoma's Buddy Hield walks off the floor in disappointment after his Sooners lost to West Virginia in the Big 12 semifinals. With Oklahoma down 69-67, Hield heaved an awkward halfcourt shot and banked it in to give the Sooners an apparent victory. But a video review revealed that Hield still had the ball in his hand when time ran out.
