March Madness has already been filled with upsets<\/a>, but this has to be the shot of the tournament so far.<\/p>\n

The Northern Iowa Panthers, an 11th seed taking on sixth-seeded powerhouse Texas, played tough all game and held onto a lead for much of it.<\/p>\n

The Panthers were up 72-70 when Texas’ Isaiah Taylor hit a jumper with 2.7 seconds left to tie the game. UNI didn’t call a timeout, but instead got the ball in the hands of Paul Jesperson, who heaved it from half court as time ran out.<\/p>\n
