Iowa overcomes 13-point deficit in final 1:34, improbably beats Michigan State in OT

Iowa pulled off an unbelievable comeback on Saturday vs. Michigan State.

Coming off back-to-back ugly road losses, things were looking bleak once again for Iowa. The Hawkeyes trailed MSU 91-78 with just 1:34 left in regulation.

At that point, Iowa had no choice other than to start jacking up threes. For a team that was a combined 6-of-52 from long distance in its previous two games, that did not seem like it would be a recipe for a comeback.

This time, though, shots were falling at an incredible rate. The Hawkeyes made six of their final nine 3-point attempts in the final 90 seconds of regulation in order to miraculously force overtime even as Michigan State made most of its free throws.
