Mississippi State guard Morgan William shoots the game-winning jumper over Connecticut guard Gabby Williams in overtime Friday night in Dallas.

Schaefer grabbed William in a bear hug, with former Mississippi State star Dak Prescott—the Dallas Cowboys quarterback—helping lead the cheers in a sellout crowd. It was the lone basket for Mississippi State in OT until William’s game-winner.
