    Skidmore beat Southern Vermont in the longest game in NCAA Division III men's basketball history -- a seven-overtime marathon.

    The Thoroughbreds prevailed 128-123.

    It matched the longest NCAA men's game in any division and was two overtimes longer than the previous record at the Division III level. Cincinnati beat Bradley on Dec. 21, 1981, in seven overtimes for the Division I mark; Black Hills beat Yankton in seven OTs on Feb. 18, 1956, for the Division II record.
