In the best game of the tournament, UNI avoided overtime with the improbable shot. They have now won three-of-five NCAA Tournament games on game-winning shots in the last five seconds, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

From the crowd:

UNI will now face Texas A&M in the Round of 32 on Sunday, hoping to keep alive their heretofore magical tournament.
