((HT: ESPN/KSL-TV))
For the wrong reason, probably...
The game itself was fantastic.
Memphis scores on a 4th Down and 4 with ten seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime at 45.
Both teams kick field goals in the first, and Memphis holds off BYU with another field goal and interception in the second overtime for the 51-48 win.
But here's what went down afterwards- and it was UGLY!
BYU AD Tom Holmoe took to Twitter to apologize for his team's behavior.
What will come of this...???
Don't know, really...
But the HQ figures that anything that happens will be internal...

John Wall's Very Emotional, Very Long Day
((HT: CSN Washington))
John Wall played with what seemed like an endless supply of energy in the Washington Wizards-Boston Celtics game last night.
The reason was that Wall lost a very close, personal friend and fan in 6-year-old Miyah Telemaque-Nelson. Miyah was one of the many victims to cancer these days- one of the too many, really. After dedicating a double-overtime victory to her, Chris Nelson talked to Wall afterwards.
Here's his postgame reaction
There are times when sports is reduced to its emotional core and support for everyone else around you is shown in a raw fashion.
It's sad that takes events like Wall's loss to remind us of what is important...

Syracuse Barely Beats Villanova, And We're Talking Football
((HT: ACCDN))
Without their starting QB, it took a failed 2-point conversion in the bottom of the second overtime for Syracuse to barely beat Villanova (otherwise known as FCS/Division I-AA Villanova)), 27-26.
Syracuse starting QB Terrel Hunt got ejected after throwing a punch on Villanova LB Dillon Lucas.
Hunt also received a 15-yard Unnecessary Roughness penalty on the play and it served as a motivator for the decidedly underdog Wildcats.
While it wasn't the six OT thriller in the Big East tourney, it certainly was a renewal of the rivalry- if only for a night.

Kings And Blackhawks Go For A 5th Period In Game 5
The HQ had a feeling that the game would either be 13-11 (after the Montreal-Rangers street fight the night before) or was going to be a game where Corey Crawford and Jonathan Quick were going to be on their heads...
Actually it was a little of both...
The Kings were down 2-0 after four minutes and 3-1 in the second period. But the Blackhawks let them back in the game- not rattled by early returns- and went deep into the night with an unlikely hero.
Chantal McCabe talks us through the highlights
((HT: NHL.com))
The larger questions in America 6 Friday will be around the Hawks Patrick Kane and wondering if his Game 5 efforts were just a one-shot deal or not and will Corey Crawford still look a step late on some instances when the Kings have the puck in traffic.

Bargnani Knucklehead Move Almost Costs Knicks...
((HT: FSBucks))
The bottom line here is that the Knicks beat the Bucks in double overtime last night in Milwaukee- despite themselves...
In the first OT, Andrea Bargnani did this...
And the Bucks color guy, Jon McGlocklin, went after him...
“It was a mistake,” Bargnani admitted after the game, according to Newsday. “It was a bad decision.”

Original 6 Cup Final Set For Wednesday
((HT: NHL on NBCSN))
It'll be for the first time since 1979 that Original 6 teams square off in the Stanley Cup Final, but the defending champs didn't go without a fight.
In an elimination game, it took a moment like this from Mike Richards to send the game to free hockey...
It was the longest game in LA Kings franchise history and the injury list, once released by the team, could be the longest in team history.
Chicago and Boston will start at the Madhouse on Wednesday night...
Nothing like a hat trick for Patrick Kane- he scored more goals in a conference finals game than the entire Penguins team scored in a conference finals series...
Howzatforastat...???
And it also proves just how difficult it is for a team to be a successful defending champ...

ICYMI: Bruins Roll Pens in Double OT--Take Commanding 3-0 Series Lead (UPDATE:: Campbell's Leg Is Broken)
Okay, admit it, how many of you hockey fans thought the Stanley Cup Eastern Conference finals would be this easy for the Boston Bruins?
Yeah, thought so.
The B's rode a Patrice Bergeron goal in double overtime, combined with stellar goalkeeping by Tuuka Rask for a 2-1 win Wednesday night and a 3-0 lead in their Best-of-7 series.
Rask stopped 53 of 54 shots, the goal happening at the end of period one.
And it took a great pass by Brad Marchand to a stunned Bergeron with less than 5 minutes to go in the second overtime to seal the deal.
Pittsburgh, which is fueled by stars Sydney Crosby and Evegni Malkin have gotten little or no production from their stars. As for Boston, in this game, they scored on their 1st shot of the game and then no more until the game winner.
It's not unheard of for a team trailing 3-0 in a series to comeback, but in this case, it sure doesn't look very likely.
Your highlights from NHL.com:
INJURY UPDATE: Gregory Campbell's leg is officially broken and not just a lower body injury. He's done for the playoffs. Campbell blocked a Evgeni Malkin shot in the second period... And just count how long he's still out on the ice defending the power play of the Penguins ((HT: NHL on NBCSN)) "The fact that he took that shot and he couldn't even move and he was still trying to play and get in the lane," said FOSG Brad Marchand after the game. "He did a great job and we really wanted to play for him and it just shows his character. He's always battling. He's always doing whatever he has to do, and he's been huge for us this playoffs so far."
