Everything we know following Belmont’s double OT upset win over Oregon

Belmont upsets Oregon 73-70 in double overtime in the first round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

This is why it’s called March Madness.

Despite Nyara Sabally’s career-high 31 points to go along with 12 rebounds and seven blocks, Oregon was eliminated from the NCAA women’s basketball tournament in the first round with a 73-70 double overtime loss to Belmont.

The 12-seed Bruins are no stranger to upsetting 5-seeds as they accomplished the very same feat last season with an upset over Gonzaga.

This time it took 50 minutes as both teams made big play after big play. Fortunately for Belmont, it was them that made the last big play. It was on the defensive end for the Bruins as they held the Ducks scoreless for the final 2:05 of the second overtime.

Oregon finishes the season 21-12 overall.

The complete women’s March Madness bracket

For college basketball fans, brackets and the month of March are synonymous. It’s the best time of year in hoops and one that can bring either joy or heartbreak.

The Colorado Buffaloes are hoping for the former as they’re set to play in their first NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament since 2013. Led by fifth-year senior Mya Hollingshed, the Buffs will kick things off on Friday as a No. 7 seed matching up with No. 10 Creighton. A Buffs’ win would then pin them up against either No. 2 Iowa or No. 15 Illinois State in the round of 32.

Take a look at the complete bracket below:
