    This reminded me of T-Mac's 13 and 33 so I went and re-watched it. The timing is very similar. McGrady made his first shot with 35 seconds left and made the last shot with 1.7 seconds. The Aggies hit their first shot with 34 seconds left and their last shot with 1.9 seconds left. If you go by the same metric its 14 points in 32 seconds. Just incredible!

    T-Mac's has got to be the greatest comeback of all-time. He did it pretty much by himself against a really good Spurs team.

    It's a miracle I didn't change the channel even for a moment. Because I almost did several times.

    Same with T-Mac's 13 in 33. Didn't flip the channel for some reason.

    Rockets were only down 8 in that scenario though. A&M was down 12 with basically the same amount of time left.

    With no timeouts. Crazy.

    I've re-watched it about 10 times now, and I STILL can't comprehend what happened. It was like every single possible situation UNI got themselves into was handled in the exact wrong way. They missed TWICE on trying to knock the ball off of us which led to 4 easy points. They threw one in-bounds pass straight out of bounds. Even the play where they hit the hail mary pass and got a quick dunk was probably a mistake because it practically took no time off the clock. Just an insane turn of events that took place in such a short amount of time.

    but UNI choked while the spurs really didn't.

    Consider that:
    -the Spurs only turned it over once in that period
    -made all of their free throws
    -Defended all of T-Mac's three pointers as well as you possibly can other than the Duncan foul
    -t-mac did it by himself

    13 in 35 was more impressive and more improbable.

    I agree with that. 1 man did it by himself against professional competition.

    they aren't even kind of similar save for the amount of points in such a short amount of time to end a game. other than that they bear almost no resemblance. the spurs didn't choke the game away - tmac just took it from them. UNI on the other hand literally played the worst 44 seconds in basketball history.

    you don't want to pile on them because it was such a devastating loss but they truly deserve it. everything from giving up several uncontested layups to having no clue how to inbound the ball to doing nothing to shave time off the clock... it was just surreal. coaches will be replaying that last minute to their players for years to come just to demonstrate what NOT to do.

    sucks for them but they will never - and should never - live that down.

    A&M didn't commit a single foul. The Rockets fouled, *and* the Spurs made their free throws. Anyone who thinks this wasn't all on Northern Iowa is crazy. It was like watching the Oilers blow 35-3 but in the equivalent of the last 7 minutes of the game. It just wasn't possible for A&M to win without a crapload of mistakes by UNI.

    I couldn't believe how many times in a row they sent the ball to the corner.....that's like JV Basketball 101.

    House signs as an undrafted FA. Sounds about right. I don't think he makes a roster, but then again, Sloan surprised me and stuck around.

    Caruso signed with Philly, so there's that.

    Wow, that's crazy. For him to just be signed, even. Crazy.

    why not let ball hog Harden run the point?

    Horford
    Beasley can be point foward when Harden wants to score
    Ariza
    Bazemore
    Harden just needs to improve his defense againts quick PG or let Baze or Ariza defend them

    This line up means we can switch everything on defense

    True...but A&M put themselves in position to capitalize on those mistakes, and put UNI into situations where they could make them.
