so much for the p12 being a tough conference...

Northern Iowa's "coug-it" vs. Texas A&M had to be seen to be believed.

Up 10 with 31.1 seconds remaining (and the ball OOB).  Four straight turnovers (in backcourt) lead to 7 A&M points in the next 11.5 seconds seconds. Northern Iowa finally executes breakaway lob downcourt to go up 71-66 with 19.6 seconds to go.  A&M player drives back length of court to score (fouled with an "and one") to make it 71-69 with under 12 seconds remaining.  Northern Iowa player gets trapped in corner on ensuing inbound play and tries the ol' "throw it at the opponents leg/foot" (and out-of-bounds) trick.  Opponent quickly pulls leg back, grabs ball like it was passed right to him, drives straight to basket and ties it up at 71 with 2.1 seconds left.

Game goes to 2OT before A&M finally prevails 92-88.

Lone SEC team making it to the Sweet Sixteen.
