+**UMass Stuns N. Carolina in Overtime**\\
+From [[http://www.ap.org|The Associated Press]], 11/25/1993
+Massachusetts couldn’t hit free throws down the stretch and had to go deep into its thin bench.
+[{{ ::19931124_kellogg_point.jpg?direct&300|Derek Kellogg drives past Derrick Phelps late in regulation time.}}]
+All that, however, couldn’t prevent the biggest victory in school history Wednesday night when the No. 19 Minutemen beat No. 1 [[opponent_north_carolina|North Carolina]], 91-86, in overtime in the semifinals of the Preseason NIT at New York.
+The Minutemen (3-0) will meet No. 6 [[opponent_kansas|Kansas]] for the title on [[game19931126_kansas|Friday night]].
+North Carolina (2-1), the defending national champion, was a 15-point favorite.
+But Massachusetts hung in and attacked the boards relentlessly behind [[roe_lou|Lou Roe]], who finished with 28 points and 14 rebounds.
+“On the way into the building people were telling us to forget it, we couldn’t beat North Carolina. They were laughing at us,” Roe said. “I was getting angry.”
+Roe’s free-throw shooting, however, almost keep the Minutemen from winning. He made one of five free throws, including missing the front end of two one-and-ones in the final 6:46 of regulation, but North Carolina had dug itself a hole with foul problems.
+Seven-foot center [[wp>Eric Montross]] fouled out with 6:46 left and 6-11 forward [[wp>Kevin Salvadori]] was gone with 2:58 left.
+North Carolina missed two chances to score in the final seconds of regulation and the overtime was all Massachusetts as it scored the first six points, all from [[dingle_dana|Dana Dingle]].
+No. 6 Kansas 75, No. 9 [[opponent_minnesota|Minnesota]] 71--Richard Scott scored 20 points and [[wp>Steve Woodberry]] and [[wp>Greg Ostertag]] came up with the big plays down the stretch at New York, sending the Jayhawks (3-0) past the Gophers (2-1).
+The Jayhawks seemed in control and led, 50-38, with 15:44 to play. But the Golden Gophers moved in front, 63-62, with 5:32 left.
+Ostertag scored eight of Kansas’ next 11 points to help put Minnesota away.

+**UMass Shocks Carolina**\\
+By Richard Finn, [[http://www.chicagotribune.com|The Chicago Tribune]], 11/25/1993
+NEW YORK — There was March Madness excitement five months early Wednesday night.
+[{{ ::19931124_mike_williams_jumper.jpg?direct&300|Mike Williams added to his building reputation as Mr. Clutch with his performance against the Tar Heels.}}]
+Lifted by [[williams_mike|Mike Williams']] clutch three-point shooting, 18th-ranked Massachusetts ambushed top-ranked NCAA champion North Carolina 91-86 in overtime to reach the final of the Preseason NIT at [[wp>Madison Square Garden]].
+The Minutemen (3-0) will play for the title Friday against No. 6 Kansas (3-0), which held off Minnesota 75-71. The Gophers (2-1) will meet North Carolina (2-1) in the third-place game.
+"We are the big time," exclaimed Williams as he made his way through the mob of Massachusetts fans who swarmed the court.
+Williams' final three-pointer came with 13 seconds left and his team up by one, capping a 17-point effort by the junior guard.
+"I've always had confidence in my shot, and I felt it was going in," said Williams, who also buried a three with :20 left in regulation to force overtime as the Minutemen wiped out an eight-point deficit in the final 4:47.
+"This team has an attitude of refusing to lose," said UMass coach [[calipari_john|John Calipari]].
+Louis Roe had 28 points (despite going 6 for 16 from the foul line) and 14 rebounds for the [[Atlantic 10]] champs.
+"On the way into the building," Roe said, "people were telling us to forget it, we couldn't beat North Carolina. They were laughing at us. I was getting angry."
+Roe said he knew Williams would be on target when he saw him fire away with :06 left on the shot clock in OT. "If you leave him open, he'll knock the shot down."
+North Carolina lost 7-foot center Eric Montross on fouls with 6:46 left in regulation and 6-11 Kevin Salvadori with 2:58 left. UMass lost 6-11 freshman center [[camby_marcus|Marcus Camby]] :16 into OT when he went down with a knee injury and had to be carried off the floor.
+"That takes a lot away from the victory," Calipari said. "We don't know the extent of the injury, but we know he won't play Friday."
+North Carolina jumped to an 11-0 lead, alarming Calipari. "I said, `Oh, my God, we could get beat by 50.' I took a timeout to get them focused and worrying about me instead of the other team."
+In the semifinal opener, Kansas thwarted a spirited rally by the ninth-ranked Gophers.
+"This is November, and we'll learn from this," Minnesota coach [[wp>Clem Haskins]] said. "If it was March, we would be concerned."
+Down by 12 just five minutes into the second half, Minnesota charged back to take a 63-62 lead on a three by Townsend Orr with 5:31 left.
+"All of a sudden it was a one-point game," said Kansas coach [[wp>Roy Williams (basketball coach)|Roy Williams]]. "I called a timeout and got the guys back in focus to play Kansas basketball, which is a high percentage shot and challenge their shots. Those last five minutes, we executed very well."
+Six consecutive Kansas points by 7-1, 279-pound Greg Ostertag wiped out Minnesota's last two leads at 66-64 and 68-66.
+"I thought we were pretty much in control when we got the lead," said Orr, who led the Gophers with 16 points.
+When Steve Woodberry buried a three with 2:30 left, the Jayhawks led for good 71-68.
+[[wp>Big Ten Conference|All-Big 10]] guard [[wp>Voshon Lenard]], last year's MVP in the [[wp>1993 National Invitation Tournament|postseason NIT]] and Minnesota's top scorer through the first two games with an 16.5 average, had only nine points on 4-for-14 shooting.
+Haskins said Lenard was hobbled by a missing toenail on his right foot. "He couldn't push off and couldn't make any sharp cuts."
+The Gophers shot only 37 percent in falling behind 38-30 by halftime.
