Stanford takes down UConn in overtime, 88-86

What a stunner:

#6 Stanford upset #1 UConn in overtime, 88-86. The Cardinal ended the Huskies' 47-game winning streak. They ended their 90-game winning streak on Dec. 30, 2010.

Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer post-game interview.

Chiney Ogwumike called it.

Stanford appears to be UConn's kryptonite.

The sign of a great coach is her ability to make the most out of what she has, no matter what. Tara VanDerveer deserves to be called one of the greatest coaches ever.

Upset #2:

The day's other major upset came as #13 Kentucky rallied from 14 down to upset #8 Baylor, 74-64.

More results...and several more overtimes:

Western Kentucky edged Colorado in overtime, 79-78.

Vanderbilt slipped past Green Bay in overtime, 68-64.

LSU beat Jackson State in overtime, 52-44.

#17 West Virginia held off Seton Hall, 89-87.

Middle Tennessee got past Miami, 53-48.

Boston University squeaked by Harvard, 63-62.

#4 Tennessee ran past Oral Roberts, 91-39.

Full scoreboard.

About Ohio State's seven-woman roster: Coach McGuff needs to reconsider his season-long suspension of Raven Ferguson. Whatever she did, unless it was murder, the punishment is excessive. It hurts the other Buckeyes, too.
