11th seed Northern Iowa dumped out sixth seed Texas with a halfcourt heave on the final buzzer during their NCAA tournament first round game.
Isaiah Taylor, who scored 22 on the night for Texas, tied the game on a layup with 2.7 seconds to play.
Enter Iowa's Paul Jesperson, who caught a pass from beneath the UNI basket, dribbled and drained from just inside his own half as the buzzer sounded to end the game.
As you can imagine, it sparked some jubilant scenes.

And it gets even better when you take a look at the fan-filmed footage of the 6-foot-6 guard's outrageous effort to send Texas packing in a big March Madness upset.

It might just be in the air in OKC at the minute. You might remember that, just over three weeks ago, current NBA deity Steph Curry pulled something similar from his locker to sink Oklahoma City Thunder in the same arena.
You can never have too many buzzer-beaters, can you? Should we throw in one more? Let's throw in one more!
Back in 1990, in Northern Iowa's first ever NCAA appearance, Maurice Newby landed a three-pointer with four seconds on the clock to send the 14th seed college through at third seed Missouri's expense, on a scoreline of 74-71.
Somewhere , Maurice Newby smiles
