Northern Iowa With The Biggest Collapse In Tournament History, Were Up 12 With 44 Seconds Left And Somehow Lost In Double OT
99.99% win percentage! That vine sums it up perfectly. For both fan bases. Those are Texas A&M fans but they could just as easily be UNI fans crying for a whole different reason. Stunning loss. STUNNING. The biggest collapse in NCCA Tournament history. Maybe the biggest collapse in sports history and I’m not even kidding. That’s the type of loss they make 30 for 30s about. The type of loss where years from now UNI players on this team will storm out of interviews when asked about “that game” As bad a loss as you can possibly have. Dumb play after dumb play after dumb play down the stretch. Unthinkable. They could not inbound the ball for the life of them. How how how did UNI lose that game? How? MJ crying faces all around. For the whole team. Hell, for the whole state of Iowa. I’ll slap one on myself. Kurt Warner gets one too. Northern Iowa up by 12 points with 44 seconds left. People handing UNI the win. People tweeting out congratulations to a #11 seed for making it to the Sweet Sixteen. Texas A&M fans flooding out of the arena and then it happens. Northern Iowa flat out forgot how to play basketball for 44 seconds, the Aggies came roaring back and end up winning in double OT. Never ever seen anything like it. Turns out Iowa is not the center of the basketball universe. Roughhhhhhhh day.
I regret this tweet I sent out with a minute left in the game
