Momentum

Does the team who hits a shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime have a better chance of winning?

I was thinking about this after Alabama hit a deep 3 to tie UCLA at the buzzer, but then UCLA went on to dominate the overtime session in this year's NCAA Tournament.

This is from 2011, but an interesting look at it from the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective.
