In the five college conference tournament games that went to overtime on Thursday, each game was won outright in the extra session (or sessions) by the underdog. Pitt, Colorado, Georgia, Tulsa, and Utah all pulled upsets in games that went to OT.

I’d be very careful about playing those teams on Friday. The all-out effort and extra minutes could lead to fatigue, and teams that pull upsets in early rounds of conference tournaments often underperform in their next game. All situations are different, but reviewing the “minutes played” column of the box scores and reading the game stories and sidebars in local papers should give you an idea as to whether these clubs will be out of gas in the second halves of their games today.
