This is how you erase a 12-point deficit in 35 seconds. https://t.co/l3eJ83wDDB #MarchMadness
Northern Iowa was 35 seconds away from a huge upset of no. 3 seeded Texas A&M when the most unthinkable collapse you've ever seen whirred into motion. Up 69-57, UNI would turn the ball over four times in the final 30 seconds, all off UNI inbounds passes gone wrong, allowing the Aggies to gain possession after possession with little or no time coming off the clock and storm their way back to tie things at 71 by the end of regulation.
UNI would hold on to send the game to a second overtime, but that was all it could muster. With the epic collapse still fresh in their rear view mirror, UNI let A&M pull away in the second OT, completing one of the most insane comebacks we've ever seen.
You can't help but feel for the Panthers, whose inbounds plays were complete chaos with senior ballhander Matt Bohannon stuck to the bench nursing a leg injury. UNI went in to full panic mode, and A&M reaped the benefits. What a game.
