(23) Louisville 79 - (7) Connecticut 78 (2OT)
#1
STORRS, Conn. -- Peyton Siva scored 19 points, including two driving layups in the second overtime, and No. 23 Louisville upset No. 5 Connecticut 79-78 on Saturday.

Terrence Jennings added 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Preston Knowles and Kyle Kuric each added 15 points for Cardinals (17-4, 6-2), who have won four of their last five games and took sole possession of second place in the Big East.

The Cardinals came back from a nine-point second-half deficit and tied the game on Siva's driving layup with 29 seconds left in regulation.

Shabazz Napier had 18 of his 21 points for UConn( 17-3, 5-3) after halftime and Kemba Walker added 20. But Walker missed a jumper at the end of regulation and a long 3-pointer at the end of the second overtime that would have given the Huskies the win.

UConn came into the game 11-0 at home, and had won six in a row.
