Northern Iowa Drained a Miracle Half-Court Buzzer Beater for Another Upset

March Madness is no misnomer.

If your bracket is still alive after Friday, you're blessed. Michigan State's loss against Middle Tennessee earlier was wild enough, but No. 11 Northern Iowa put itself on the map by defeating No. 6 Texas. This wasn't just an upset; Northern Iowa pulled it off with a buzzer-beating half court shot. Paul Jesperson's magic fingers pushed the Panthers to a 75-72 victory. As you'd expect, the crowd went nuts.

Yes I was that idiot. Do it for the vine Northern Iowa https://t.co/mr0SEZaeHV

It was a great moment if you wasn't a Texas player.
