Part 4/6:
Overtime began with energized performances from both teams. Kansas continued to rely on Hunter Dickinson, who scored pivotal points, while UCF's Ivy Curry maintained pressure with aggressive drives. Each basket became a statement, with the lead changing several times as both teams vied for control.
In the final minutes, UCF’s AJ Store fouled out, leaving UCF with fewer options and slightly diminishing their offensive potency. Meanwhile, Kansas took advantage of critical free throw opportunities, courtesy of Dickinson, that ultimately secured their lead.
