Kentucky’s miracle March Madness 3 helps stave off Santa Clara in OT thriller

You’ll be seeing that shot in “One Shining Moment.”

Kentucky star Otega Oweh hit a miracle 3-pointer with less than one second left to send Friday’s first-round game in the NCAA Tournament against Santa Clara to overtime.

The seventh-seeded Wildcats then pulled way in the extra five-minute period to down the 10th-seeded Broncos, 89-84.

“That’s probably the best one yet,” Oweh said of the game on CBS after the game.

Santa Clara’s Allen Graves had just hit a 3-pointer with three seconds remaining to take a 73-70 lead, but Oweh provided the shot, thus far, of March Madness 2026.

Kentucky quickly inbounded the ball and Oteh raised up from roughly the midcourt logo to tie the game and cause pandemonium in St. Louis.

The winner of this game meets the victor from the Iowa State vs. Tennessee State contest.
