<<Actually, Erik had it right.  The key here is that it was a game in which a
winner needed to be decided for advancement in a bracket or tournament.  So
there should have been 20 min OTs played.  The rules allow for this in
regular season games in which a winner must be decided, again for
advancement purposes.>>
 
I stand by my previous post. If they had played a regular season game in which
the regulation was followed by a 20 minute OT and one team scored at the 6
minute mark...then have the won the game according to regular season rules?
No! The only advancement purpose that the NCAA needs to recognize is in post
season...everything else must be played under the same timing rules.
