I'm seeing lots of commenters calling it one of the all-time choke-jobs by a team (UNI in this case). Anyone see it and care to share their perspective? Just curious what I missed...

Thanks much, Port. I had posted that late that night (after just missing the ending), and then thought I deleted it. I didn't want to bother anyone on here with it.

This is the first I've seen of that final 40 seconds. I must say, and I know this didn't happen, but the two in-bounds plays where they muffed it almost smelled like the long arm of Las Vegas. Especially the first one. I mean, if you're going to throw it to nowhere, at least throw it to nowhere--as opposed to throwing it into the waiting arms of an A&M guy with a straight, unguarded line of five feet to the rim.

That truly looked like the biggest collapse I've ever seen.

On the plus side, the OU-A&M game should be better than what OU-UNI would've offered.

Thanks again, Port!

I guess it actually was:

The one comeback that I can remember was this one from 2001. It happens to be Duke (unfortunately) overcoming a 10 point deficit in the final minute. I remember watching this game live and being in awe. I can imagine how much worse it felt as a UNI fan having a larger deficit (12) with less time remaining (:40) and on a bigger state (NCAA tournament)

The famous Bill James (his probability calculator) had it as a clean 100%. No decimal caveats! :woohoo:

...even if it is Kentucky. It's not from the last minute, but they were down by 31 to LSU in a game in 1994 with about 15 minutes left in the second half and came back to win. The comeback starts at around the 7:30 mark in the video below and cuts ahead every so often. I'll also note that the score is only shown after made baskets (which makes you appreciate the always-there display nowadays).
