OKLAHOMA CITY -- While his Northern Iowa teammates looked stunned after Texas tied the score with 2.7 seconds remaining Friday night, Paul Jesperson drifted toward half court and put his hands out once he realized nobody was covering him.
Matt Bohannon noticed the same and popped the ball out to his fellow senior. Sensing an opportunity, Jesperson then cut back across a pair of Longhorns with a single dribble before launching the shot from half court.
Six years ago in the same Oklahoma City arena, Northern Iowa notched the biggest win in school history by toppling top-seeded Kansas.
