Was that the biggest choke job in tournament history?

[POOLSIDE]

Not trying to be reactionary. I just don't think I've ever seen anything like it. I mean, all they had to do was turn the ball over on the far end of the court instead of directly under their basket. Literally, throw jump balls under the other basket and worst case, A&M has to run the whole floor and use five to ten seconds.

[readytowinem]

Or throw the ball up in the air...lol

[jeffchitown]

Purdue did 7 or 8 points last year with similar time left vs cincy but nothing like this.

[Slipknot26]

Up 12 with 40 seconds left
2016 UNI club sealed the deal today

[Plaza23]

Yes. 12 points with 40 seconds has never happened before, and will never happen again.

When you have 200 on UNI +7, 200 to win 590 on UNI ml, 200 on U130..........

Live o/u was 110 with 10 minutes left and chose not to lay anything off and ended up putting 200 to win 240 on UNI -2.5. My reasoning was bc all the squares love to chase down the live spread of the favored teams towards the end of the game when it's close, just like all the sqaures got crushed chasing MSU live spread vs. Middle Tennessee when MSU ml was only -180 with 9 mins left....

Can someone please tell me what the penetrate*KKK just happened?!?

Before this I considered my worse ball breaker ever was when I bet Detroit Lions +2.5 and Under 44.5 and the Rodgers threw the hail marry with 0:00 to win 27 - 23 (score was 23 - 21 b4 that play)... which game should I pick as my worse ball breaker ever?

This. That was bad but at least it was within the realm of possible. It was a normal football play. This was insane.

when i saw the replay of the guy trapped in the corner on UNI with his team up 2 and like 6 seconds left before he threw it away my first thought was why didn't he just heave the ball up as high as he could muster???

[Calgunner23]

Shot in the nuts.

Last minute collapse for anyone who didn't watch that live.

He made literally the dumbest play he could make by doing that. At worst, he should have held on to the ball and waited to get tied up. Or, he could have thrown the ball really high up into the stands. Even though a player is throwing the ball out of bounds, the clock will keep ticking until the ball hits something out of bounds. He could have thrown the ball into the balcony to drain clock.

When it was 69-61, that guy didn't even try to dribble. He immediately tried to throw it off the defender which made no sense at all.

Then when it was 71-69, again all that guy needed to do was hold the ball till he gets tied up, or throw the ball far into the stands. Northern Iowa had the possession arrow.

Literally the worst choke job I have ever seen in my life. That will never happen again.

I think UVA came back from 9 down vs. Wake Forest with 50 seconds left about two months ago

The ball was inbounded with 11.8 seconds to go. If he would have thrown it up the 10-second rule would have gone into play and A&M would have 1.8 seconds left on the clock to inbound.

I've never personally seen a double digit lead lost with less than a minute. Blew my freakin mind!!

[GoBlue77]

to answer your question. yes.

That was the worst play of many, he wasn't even in trouble at that point, and a NI player up court was just watching instead of moving. All the guy had to do was gun the ball down court, even a TO would have killed 10 seconds. Twice they tried the pass off the defender's feet, which was the worst play you can make.

I finally watched it ... refs had a big hand in that, there were clear trap fouls in the corner and that 3 point play call on Jesperson against Caruso was criminal. Gimme a break, that was all refs, yes N. Iowa was playing not to lose but it was for a reason.

lol blaming the refs for an 11 point lead that was lost in 32 seconds. It was definitely 99% the refs right. They threw the ball to a&m like 5 times not UNI

[johnnyvegas13]

Obv uni

[LineShifterz]

no question!!! easily the biggest choke in sports history!!! Hard to think this could ever be duplicated or be beaten but then again never thought this could happen either......

Just being honest. If you didn't see that the main reason why they lost were the refs, you are being ignorant as to why that never happens ...

I say that precisely because they had a "not to lose" strategy, and with that kind of lead it works unless the refs make really bad decisions. Blame all around, just saying

refs swallowed their whistles for a few calls that could have been fouls against A&M, but were not called. However, to say the main reason was the refs, is a little far fetched.

[SpreadSniper]

they lost because of their inability to inbound a pass, multiple time.... I'd say that's on the coach more than anything.

[johnnyvegas13]

I bet the fbi reviewed the end of the game to see if they could find anything that uni would lose on purpose

Clearly they didn't he tried to throw it off Texas and just ended up making a nice bounce pass
