Summary
Kentucky beat Santa Clara in the First Round of March Madness, thanks in part to a referee missing a timeout call by Santa Clara head coach Herb Sendek. The Broncos had three timeouts remaining, but Sendek was unable to get the attention of the nearest official, allowing Kentucky’s Otega Oweh to hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to force overtime. Kentucky went on to win the game in overtime.
